hey, i'm yazdun. i'm a software engineer.
i started writing code in 2019, but i've been exposed to tech almost my entire life. i built lots of random apps in winforms and wpf when i was a kid, besides playing loads of video games.
it never occurred to me that i could do programming for a living until around 2018. after graduating high school, i skipped college and tried to become a real estate broker. i worked in real estate for over a year, made a bunch of money, but ultimately it was clear as daylight that it wasn't for me.
in late 2018, i quit my real estate job, bought a laptop, and started learning to code. i knew a bunch of concepts in C#, but it didn't take me long to realize it's hard to get hired in that field + i never liked C# that much.
i learned to code from freecodecamp (shoutout to mike dane for all his free courses on fcc). i tried a bunch of different languages but finally landed on javascript and react.
