From Fixing PCs to Building Websites

A journey of passion, learning, and growth — moving from hands-on tech repair to creating on the web.

My First Steps

I’ve been fascinated by tech since grade school. After 2012, it became more than interest — it became a craft.

I repaired laptops, cleaned dust out of CPU fans, replaced motherboards, and saved data from broken hard drives and USB sticks. I could diagnose issues blindfolded. I’ve spent years fixing what others thought was lost — and I loved every part of it.

From reinstalling Windows to soldering components, it shaped my mindset: be precise, be curious, and never quit. These skills laid the foundation for my next big leap — from repair to creation.

The Shift to Web

After years of solving physical tech problems, I started exploring the digital world. I began learning web development using nothing more than my phone and the Acode app. Writing HTML and CSS lines on a small screen was not easy — but it was enough to spark something bigger.

Eventually, I moved to Visual Studio Code on desktop. My workflow became smoother, and I started building real websites. The first was a simple English learning page, then a personal portfolio, followed by more advanced projects like a welding business site and a historical tech timeline.

Each site helped me refine layout, color, responsiveness, and user experience. With JavaScript, I brought interactivity to my designs — menus that close automatically, smooth scrolling, dynamic elements. It wasn’t just about function anymore, it became about feeling.

Today, I use the same dedication and precision from my hardware days to craft clean, elegant, and purposeful websites. I still fix the occasional PC, but my main focus is now digital creation — with code that speaks for itself.
