A 5-Year Roadmap Back to Strong Fundamentals
In 2018, I started my bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering with almost no real passion for it.
At the time, I was just there to get a degree.
I attended classes, did assignments, passed exams, and moved forward because that was the expected path. Programming was simply another subject to survive. But somewhere along the way, something changed. Little by little, I started enjoying the process of building things. Not just writing code, but understanding systems. Understanding why things break. Understanding why some designs scale while others collapse like wet cardboard castles under production traffic.
By 2024, I landed an internship as a junior Angular developer. That experience changed a lot for me. For the first time, programming stopped feeling academic and started feeling alive. Real projects. Real problems. Real consequences. I finally felt connected to the craft.
