I didn't start out as a developer. I came through teaching and design first, and honestly, that's shaped how I write code more than any framework has.
These days I work at Tuki Soft building and maintaining real production applications: REST APIs, multi-tenant systems, payment integrations, the whole stack. I'm comfortable going from database schema design all the way to VPS deployment, and I've been picking up Pest recently to get more serious about test-driven development. I like working on problems that actually matter to someone, and I care about shipping things that are solid, not just done.
