I believe in the open-source community because it helps people work together to create better software and solutions. Open-source projects allow developers to share their work freely, making technology more accessible to everyone. I appreciate how open source encourages learning and collaboration, enabling people to share knowledge and improve together.

The best way to learn programming is by building projects. When you work on real applications, you gain hands-on experience and solve problems that teach you valuable skills. Projects help you grow as a developer faster than going through the “tutorial hell.”

Honorable Mentions

LMS

During an online class, while chatting with a friend on Discord, I had a sudden inspiration. 💡 Why not create a Discord Bot to automate online classes for educational organizations? This tool could streamline meetings, distribute assignments, and collect student work seamlessly. Excited by the idea, I pitched it to Mud, and we embarked on the project. Progress was slow, but we persisted. Building this Learning Management System (LMS) on Discord taught us valuable skills in API integration and bot development. Although the project is currently discontinued, it remains dear to me, like the middle child.

PrimeQuiz

PrimeQuiz is a social media trivia app that my team of three, including myself, developed for a competition — where we were thrilled to win first place! The app allows users to create and answer trivia questions, earning points as they engage in friendly competition. PrimeQuiz is designed to promote learning by providing a platform for users to test and expand their knowledge across a wide range of subjects. The experience of building this app taught me invaluable lessons in app development and user engagement.

Portfolio with Blog

The project you are currently exploring is an overcomplicated portfolio with a blog page. This project showcases my work, skills, and thoughts in a structured and visually appealing manner. Developing this portfolio helped me hone my skills in web development, design, and content creation. I aimed to create a platform where I could share my journey and connect with like-minded individuals in the tech community.
