My Life as a
Computer Engineer

My journey with computers began early when a family computer was introduced at home and shared among siblings and cousins. What started as simple usage slowly turned into curiosity about how systems actually work behind the screen. That curiosity deepened when I got my own desktop at a young age, giving me the freedom to explore technology more seriously.

One of my first self-taught skills was video editing. I learned Adobe Premiere Pro independently through experimentation rather than formal training. This helped me understand how digital tools are built for creation, precision, and workflow — and it trained me to learn complex software on my own.

As I spent more time with computers, games became a major source of curiosity. I started wondering how they were built and how internal systems function. With limited resources available, I relied on books and online PDFs to explore technical concepts, often attempting to understand systems beyond my level at the time.

Over time, this curiosity naturally evolved into programming and software development. I shifted from exploring existing systems to building my own. That transition led me into computer engineering, where I now focus on developing practical projects and continuously improving as a software engineer through hands-on experience.
