The Turning Point (Self-Learning)

Home / COVID-19 Period

During the global pause caused by COVID-19, I discovered my passion for code. I dedicated these two years to intense self-study, moving from 'Hello World' to building functional applications. This period defined my career path.

2015 - 2020

Secondary Education

No.2 Basic Education High School, Bahan ("Nanyan")

Developed academic discipline and logical thinking skills that would later serve as the foundation for programming.

Code is Poetry.

Written with Logic

My journey into software engineering began quite unexpectedly during the COVID-19 pandemic. While aimlessly exploring websites in that period of isolation, I accidentally pressed the F12 key. Suddenly, a hidden panel of raw text and symbols emerged on my screen. I had absolutely no idea what they were, what they were for, or how they worked. I was completely mesmerized to realize that these cryptic lines—known as source code—were the invisible gears actively powering the entire website.

That single serendipitous moment sparked a profound curiosity within me. The sheer amazement of how simple text could architect functional, interactive digital worlds quickly evolved into a dedicated pursuit of learning. It transformed a simple accident into the foundation of my career as a software engineer today.
