Journey
My journey began with a passion for technology and solving real-world problems. Starting with the basics of programming, I progressed to Java, Spring Boot, and Node.js, gradually mastering REST APIs, microservices, and databases like PostgreSQL. Real-world projects honed my teamwork skills, familiarity with version control, and understanding of agile practices. Overcoming challenges such as debugging and meeting tight deadlines sharpened my problem-solving abilities. Preparing for this interview involved revisiting core concepts, practicing coding challenges, and reflecting on past experiences. Persistence, curiosity, and a continuous willingness to learn were key. This journey has taught me that consistent effort and embracing challenges lead to growth and exciting opportunities.
