Foreword
Note : Dates are in DD/MM/YYYY format.
My goal with this portfolio is to document my journey, not only to inspire those who might come across it but also to reflect on my own progress and the dedication I've put into my career over the years.
I start with simple systems, always mindful of where to integrate complex data structures in the future, preferring to evolve my projects iteratively rather than getting bogged down in trying to make everything perfect from the start.
Building projects daily fuels my passion as long as I like what I'm doing.
My curiosity and drive to innovate often lead me to juggle multiple projects simultaneously, capturing new inspirations as they come.
