From the long road to the keyboard

I didn't take the usual path into tech — and that's exactly why I build the way I do.

I started with a degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering, then moved to Canada and earned a postgraduate diploma in software testing. For about seven years after that, I drove a Class-1 truck across the country. Long hours, big responsibility, and a lot of time to think about what I wanted to build next.

In my own time, I taught myself to code — not from a classroom, but by building real websites and mobile apps, one project at a time, learning whatever I needed to get them working. That hands-on, figure-it-out approach is still how I work today: I don't just talk about technology, I build with it.

Now I'm doing two things I'm genuinely passionate about. I build websites and mobile apps for small businesses who want a real presence online. And I'm pursuing cybersecurity — studying for my diploma, running hands-on labs, and working toward security certifications — because understanding how systems break makes me build them better and safer.
