I wrote my first lines of code five years ago. Since then, my journey hasn't been about rushing to learn the newest frameworks, but rather about understanding the primitives of computing. I started with C because I wanted to know exactly how memory is allocated, how pointers navigate hardware, and how a program actually talks to an operating system.
Today, as a B.Sc. Computer Science student, I am actively working to bridge the gap between that low-level systems architecture and modern high-level interfaces like AI and web platforms. I don't just want to consume an API; I want to understand how the server routes the request, how the data is encrypted in transit, and how to sandbox the execution environment.
