After a fulfilling career in teaching and design, I’ve shifted my focus to full-stack development, where I can use my love for problem-solving and communication to create practical, user-friendly digital tools. My background in education and design has shaped how I approach development: with empathy and a focus on delivering real value to users through well-crafted solutions.

A New Chapter – My Journey Into Full-Stack Development
23 February 2025

For as long as I can remember, technology has been a constant in my life. I still remember paging through a GW-BASIC manual, trying to make sense of it all on an IBM XT Clone. What started as curiosity became a passion—one that has stayed with me through every shift in technology.Now, in 2025, I’m taking the next step—stepping out of the classroom and fully into full-stack development. Teaching has been a huge part of my life, and I’ve learned so much from it—about problem-solving, communication, and the impact of well-designed learning experiences. But as AI and machine learning reshape how we work and live, I know it’s time to commit fully to the world of development, to build, learn, and create.This journey is more than just a career shift; it’s about fully embracing the work that excites me. Along the way, I’ll be sharing insights, projects, and the resources that help shape my growth.Follow along here or on socials—let’s build something great.#FullStackDevelopment #CareerChange #AI #TechJourney

Making the Transition from Classroom to Full-Stack Developer in 2025
1 January 2025

#FullStackDevelopment #CodingJourney #WebDevelopment #Python #NewBeginningsAs we step into 2025, I am excited to announce my transition from the classroom to a full-stack developer. With years of experience in design, media, and front-end web development, paired with a solid foundation in Python that I taught as a secondary school teacher, I’m now focusing on expanding and updating my skill set.While my background has provided me with strong technical knowledge, I recognize the importance of relearning and refining my skills to keep pace with industry advancements. That’s why, starting yesterday, I’ve enrolled in a comprehensive full-stack development course to immerse myself in both the back-end and front-end aspects of development.Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing updates, project examples, and insights from my journey here on my blog and on LinkedIn. I look forward to connecting with fellow learners and developers as I continue to grow in this exciting field. Stay tuned for more!
