I got into programming back in 2018 when I was in grade 12. I didn't have a computer, so I used to watch tutorials on my phone and try writing code using Android code editors. I grew up in a rural area where internet wasn't always available, so learning this way wasn't easy. At some point, I had to put it aside.

When I joined Jimma University in 2019, I got back into it. I spent a lot of my free time in the computer lab, teaching myself to code and trying out new things.

I graduated with a Computer Science degree in 2024, and in August that year, I joined 2F Capital as a full-stack developer.

That's pretty much how I've learned programming from the beginning: try something, get stuck, figure it out, and keep going.
