I didn't set out to study computer science — it found me somewhere along the way, and curiosity did the rest. I liked understanding how things actually work: why a system breaks, why a fix helps, and how something small on the backend can make someone's day a little smoother without them ever knowing why.

That curiosity comes with a bit of stubbornness. I'll stay with a problem longer than I need to, not because anyone's asking, but because I want it to actually be right for whoever ends up using it. Now, stepping into this next chapter, I don't have it all figured out — there's real uncertainty in that. But there's hope too, and it's enough to keep me moving.
