Hey there, wonderful readers! I’m Sharon, and I am delighted to share my journey as a junior software developer with all of you. Buckle up as we dive into the exciting world of code, design, and a little bit of serendipity.
A Passion for UI/UX Design
To kick things off, let me tell you a bit about my background. I graduated with a degree in Software Engineering and have always been drawn to the magical realm of UI/UX design. There’s something enchanting about crafting beautiful user interfaces, creating intuitive user experiences, and bringing digital journeys to life. I was — am still in love with design, and it felt like the perfect fit for my creative soul.
The Unexpected Twist
But as they say, life has a funny way of leading us down unexpected paths. Despite my passion for design, I found coding to be a bit intimidating. It felt like a mysterious puzzle, and I wasn’t sure if I had what it takes to become a proficient coder.
However, destiny had its own plans for me. After some soul-searching, I decided to take a leap of faith and embrace the challenge of software development. I landed a job as a software developer, and believe me, it was both exhilarating and nerve-wracking.
Embracing the World of Code
As a junior software developer, I dove headfirst into the world of code. From HTML and CSS to the enchanting world of JavaScript, I started weaving together the elements that breathe life into websites and web applications.
The first few weeks — MONTHS were like stepping into a whole new universe. I was introduced to concepts that felt like learning a new language, and you know what? I loved every bit of it. Each line of code was a brushstroke on the canvas of the web, and I was creating digital art.
Facing the Challenges
Of course, no journey is complete without its fair share of challenges. I encountered endless debugging sessions, those pesky responsive issues on different browsers and screen sizes, and moments when I wondered if I was cut out for this. But you know what they say, every bug is a learning opportunity, right? With each challenge, I grew stronger and more confident.
Supported by an Amazing Team
Thankfully, I wasn’t alone on this journey. I was blessed with an amazing team that supported me through it all. Shoutout to my awesome colleagues who patiently answered my questions and cheered me on during those “Aha!” moments.
Learning Nuxt3 and Beyond
Fast forward a bit, and here I am, diving into the world of Nuxt3. As a software developer, this framework has been a game-changer. It has simplified my development workflow and opened up exciting possibilities for building robust web applications.
Embracing Growth
But you know what? This journey is all about growth and learning. Every day, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and discovering new coding concepts that once seemed like distant stars. I’m realizing that coding and design are not mutually exclusive; they can dance together to create something truly magical.
Future Adventures
Oh, and speaking of the future, there’s something exciting brewing on the horizon. I might be taking a peek into the backend world soon with Laravel — fingers crossed! So, stay tuned for that adventure.
