04 — The Origin
I've always liked
figuring things out.
"Learn → Break → Figure it out → Repeat."
Self-Taught Since 11First-Principles Builder
My father bought me my first computer when I was around 11. He was working abroad, and I used Yahoo and Skype to call him. I formatted Windows, installed drivers, configured dial-up internet through a SIM modem, and kept reinstalling everything just to see what would happen.
I played chess against the computer. I loved math puzzles. Nobody really taught me — I just liked figuring things out myself.
Years later, that habit became the foundation of how I engineer today. In 12th grade, I built my first game by piecing together tutorials. I tried building a library system before I even understood backend databases. I failed a lot, broke things, and learned whatever was needed next.
