backstory
A little backstory, I began my academic career with a degree in Chemical Engineering, graduating in 2016. Motivated by a desire to deepen my knowledge, I continued doing research in the same field. After publishing several papers in Q1 and Q2 journals, managing a small team for an exhibition where we got silver and bronze award and co-authoring a book chapter, I made a decision to pivot my career path at the end of 2019.
Little did I know that COVID-19 would happen a few months later. The next few years were difficult. I explored various roles to stay resilient and sought to apply my skills in more diverse and practical settings. I worked as a delivery man, sell cookies, provide thesis formatting services, freelance work with Microsoft Excel skills on freelancer.com, and attempted to teach Excel, among other ventures. During these challenging times, I gained many valuable lessons and skills.
In 2022, I transitioned into the world full of codes. With basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, I learned more deeply through countless sources such as tutorials from YouTube, freecodecamp's core curriculum, informative threads on X.com, Twitch stream, etc.
In 2023, EazyGas approach me for a suggestion on using Google Sheet as their solution. However, after evaluating their needs, I propose developing a web application to streamline their workflow.

I'm only 2 years into the world of tech but I am super grateful to be working in this field. Thanks for reading.
