Everyone in tech has one of these stories.

Where you started vs where you ended up.

Mine goes: hover animations → APIs sending data behind the scenes. Pretty much opposite ends of the stack. Here's what happened in between.

Where I started

I got into tech for the love of user interface. The feeling you get when you first land on a page that just works. Changing colors, hover states, animations, I was obsessed with how a good interface could make you feel something without you even noticing it was doing that.
