What sparked your interest in software development?
I developed a keen interest in software development from an early age. Technology fascinated me, and my first computer, an old IBM given by my uncle, sparked my enchantment. Despite its short lifespan, it was enough for me to dive into the world of computers. At the age of 11, I received another computer and began exploring programming. I created small scripts, sending messages to friends and foes that would display upon opening, eventually causing the computer to turn off. This experience ignited my programming journey in 2015, starting with the legendary programming language Pascal.
