Hi I'm Duvindu!
I love coding, doing projects and problem solving.
My Journey as a Developer
Several months after I started selling goods on eBay, I found myself customizing pre-built templates for the description section of my listings. It was in this process that I first encountered coding, and from there, I quickly became hooked. What started with simple tweaks to templates eventually led me to write my first 'Hello World' program.
Before long, I foulnd myself fully immersed in programming, discovering new ways to improve my work. What started as a simple experiment quickly grew into a passion I never expected.
This experience shows that I'm someone who embraces challenges and takes risks, even when I don't have a clear path ahead.
