<h2 id="my-story">📖 My Story</h2>
<p>In 2019, I was an ordinary adult who love programming as a hobby. I never thought of pursuing a career in tech, nor did I think I can ever make it in the industry as a "self-taught" programmer.</p>
<p>2020 was a big hit to all of us. I struggled with some health issues and had to take a break. After recovering, I started to freelance as a web developer, mainly helping small local businesses in my community.

<h2 id="an-eternal-mission">🎯 An Eternal Mission</h2>
<p>Today, I am still an ordinary adult who love programming. The difference is that I love writing now too! The topics I write vary from technical articles relating to web development to blogging tips to empower new writers.</p>
<p>My purpose of writing on this blog is simple: <strong>to help the community and learn new things every day together.</strong></p>
<p>It's always super rewarding to read a comment or post that my article helped inspire someone's motivations, goals and journey, or just made them smile. <strong>Providing great value to others</strong> is what I consider as the ultimate and eternal mission of this blog.</p>

Hi there! 👋 Thanks for checking out this page. If it is okay with you, please read a little longer.

## 📖 My Story
In 2019, I was an ordinary adult who love programming as a hobby. I never thought of pursuing a career in tech, nor did I think I can ever make it in the industry as a "self-taught" programmer.

2020 was a big hit to all of us. I struggled with some health issues and had to take a break. After recovering, I started to freelance as a web developer, mainly helping small local businesses in my community. It was then I realized that what started as a hobby when I was young had turned into passion and deep curiosity in the field. 

So I took a leap of faith and switched my career from finance to software/web development. At first, it was really hard to stand out with my resume. As a small freelancer without a formal education in Computer Science, my resume had no substance and impact to potential employers. But it all changed after I started this blog...

## 🎯 An Eternal Mission
Today, I am still an ordinary adult who love programming. The difference is that I love writing now too! The topics I write vary from technical articles relating to web development to blogging tips to empower new writers.

My purpose of writing on this blog is simple: **to help the community and learn new things every day together.**

It's always super rewarding to read a comment or post that my article helped inspire someone's motivations, goals and journey, or just made them smile. **Providing great value to others** is what I consider as the ultimate and eternal mission of this blog.
