Hello World.

I am Jinjia, aspiring to be a coder and working on my first ever personal website. My journey was kickstarted when I took a introductory class to computer science with Python as the "language" of instruction. One problem, in particular, really introduced me to the highs and lows of programming.

We had just started learning about loops, iterations and recursions, and were taught that for every recursion, there was a way to code the same algorithm in iteration. The algorithm for this mosaic seemed short and sweet, but the hours and fatigue I fought through to complete this was unforgettable. I remembered coding through the night, and even thinking of the solution while I was trying to fall asleep! Eventually, I was still in deep thought and decided to give sleep a miss, and finally completing it at dawn. Looking back, this was one of those nights when I decided that I should make coding a part of my life. (Of course, I could have reached the solution in shorter time if I had rested with a refreshed mind!)

Since then, I looked for online resources to learn other languages on my own. Tackling front-end web development with HTML, CSS and JavaScript is my current hustle, and this website is the fruit of my learning. You can find projects that I have been working on from the "Projects" tab.
