About me

I started programming when I was 14. I didn't take it too seriously and was just playing around with DiscordDiscordbot programming with JavascriptJavaScript . It was a rogue start, though I managed to continue doing so! I started to take it more seriously from there on and learned many languages and concepts through high school and university. It was a fun journey. I've discovered a lot of knowledge which I probably would never get to learn if I didn't have the motivation to do so.
