MARY's Story I became interested in coding through a natural curiosity about how technology works and how it shapes the world around us. Growing up, I was fascinated by computers, apps, and websites, always wondering how they were created and functioned. That curiosity led me to explore coding as a way to unlock the "behind-the-scenes" of the digital tools I used daily. The idea of building something from scratch, simply using logic and creativity, captivated me. I saw coding as a form of empowerment, where complex problems could be solved, and innovative solutions could be developed with just a few lines of code. The more I learned, the more I realized how transformative coding could be—not just in terms of building software but also in how it encouraged structured thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. What solidified my interest was the endless potential coding offers. Whether it’s developing apps, automating tasks, or exploring artificial intelligence, coding opens doors to exciting possibilities. It’s not just a skill; it’s a way to impact the future. This realization fueled my passion to dive deeper into programming and continue learning, knowing that it holds the key to creating meaningful change.
My motivation for learning coding stems from a desire to become a tech professional in my field, ensuring I stay ahead in an increasingly digital world. Technology is at the core of every industry, and coding provides the foundation for understanding and shaping that technology. By mastering coding, I will not only be able to interact with technology more effectively but also have the power to innovate and solve complex problems within my field. The ability to write and understand code will enhance my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, making me a more effective and versatile professional. I aim to build applications, automate tasks, and improve efficiency in ways that others without coding knowledge cannot. In addition, I want to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders, acting as a valuable communicator who understands both the business and technical sides. Ultimately, coding will empower me to take control of my career, open new opportunities, and ensure that I remain competitive in the rapidly evolving job market. It’s not just about learning a skill; it’s about gaining a mindset that will allow me to thrive in a tech-driven future.
My hobbies are listening to music and cooking. I enjoy discovering new genres and artists, which helps me relax and feel inspired. Cooking, on the other hand, allows me to be creative while trying out new recipes and flavors, making it a fulfilling and enjoyable activity.
