Hello I'm Chris. I would like to tell you a bit about my journey into Software Development

I have always been fascinated with computers, from my first PC (Buggy windows 95) to the smart phone in my pocket. Oh! how technology has improved. In the early days i would just be happy using the device but that soon turned into a chance to repair them.
I then began to build PC's from chassis up, which brought it's own problems but it gave me opportunities to hone my troubleshooting skills. I then found myself helping people with their computer problems almost to the point where I had no free time.
Sometime later I started working in a electronic repair shop, fixing all sorts of items from PC's, Tablets, Mobile Phones, Televisions basically anything electronic.
Sometime after that I started to study PHP, SQL, Javascript and Linux Command-Line at CodeAcademy Which was exciting but a little overwhelming in the beginning but i never gave up.
From there i have study at Udemy and FreeCodeCamp. learning more languages, frameworks, libraries, programming paradigms and much more.To be fair right to this day I still dedicate time to learning something new about Computer Science when I'm not working on my projects.

I have dedicated a considerable part of my life to learning Computer Science and will do my utmost to make it my career.
