Since the age of 7, I've been captivated by electronics. My favorite toy was a mini electronics lab called "Professor's Experiments," where I built various circuits. Later, I moved on to the more advanced "130-in-1" lab, which introduced me to logic gates and OP-AMPs.
At 12, I stumbled upon a book by Malvino and another on microcontrollers and microprocessors. These sparked my understanding of computer logic and how to build a SAP (Simple As Possible) architecture CPU. Around the same time, I began exploring programming and Linux, delving into bash with Xubuntu.
By 14, I had started learning Python and developed a keen interest in cybersecurity. Python's vast applications in machine learning and information security fascinated me. Armed with just a tablet and a command line, I created simple games using Python 3 and ncurses, even crafting text-based animations.
One of the most thrilling moments in my programming journey came in 2015 when I had an answer accepted on Unix Stack Exchange about X-Server, systemd-nspawn, virtualization, and Linux. The response garnered attention from around 3,000 people—a moment of pride for me.
At 17, I read Bjarne Stroustrup's book on C++, though I chose to focus on C for its simplicity and power. During this time, I also studied Django, HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, following a tutorial on creating a personal blog.
My passion for learning was inspired by my mother, who was a doctor. Although she has passed away, I dream every day of becoming as brilliant as she was, honoring her legacy with purpose and determination.
