Story
(TL;DR - Graduate ā Self-Learner ā Web Designer & 2nd degree ā ? )
In 2020, I graduated in š Social Sciences. Then, COVID-19 hit, making jobs hard to find for humanities majors. So, I turned to the digital world for more chances and progress. Eager to enter the digital world, I started by learning more about IT.
My first practical experience came from handling website admin and design in e-commerce. This got me hooked on technology, and I wanted to grasp it inside out. I craved to be tech-savvy!
Eventually, I became a web designer šØš»āš» in Mirum. Though I enjoyed the work, I hungered for more challenge š§.
In June 2023, I started creating my portfolio and blog website. I was thrilled to display my improving skills and projects. I used the newest tech(for me) like the concept of Headless CMS, Node.js, React.js, and Next.js to craft a platform that shows my love for being inventive. Every bit of code I wrote was like taking a step towards not just making a website but also creating my path in the digital world. There are several platforms: ChatGPT, Freecodecamp , Coursera , and Codecademy have been helping me a lot for learning digital world.
Lastly, I have enrolled in my second bachelor degree Computer Science while working full time job.

Asking
What? When? Why? How? Strengths? Weaknesses?
#What?
After studying Social Sciences / government and international studies, it can train my mindset, curiosity about future possibilities, love for questioning the whys. something like why is it difficult to find a right job?, why am I unemployed? and why is changing job is so hard. The mindset about questioning and answering question is important.
Thanks to this mindset, I am able to avoid blaming external factors or accusing others for my circumstances. Instead, I take responsibility for my own actions and focus on finding solutions and personal growth. This mindset allows me to approach challenges with a proactive and constructive attitude, seeking opportunities for self-improvement rather than dwelling on negativity or assigning blame.
#When?
The first job, e-Commerece, ignited my passion in IT industry.
#Why?
Curious about the trend, trying to be tech savvy, learning new technologies, volunteering in tech field position, working with clients.
How?
Coursera, Courses Online, Codecademy, ChatGPT, FreecodeCamp, Google, Free Source Online, Logical thinking
Strengths
1. Eagerness to learn and my ability to quickly pick up new things
2. Patient and Detailed
3. Efficient
Weaknesses
1.Imposter Syndrome
refers to the self-doubt experienced by high-achieving individuals regarding their intellect, skills, or accomplishments. For instance, I often assume that everyone possesses the same level of knowledge in certain areas (such as computer skills), only to discover that I have more expertise than most individuals. Additionally, I tend to attribute my achievements to luck or external factors rather than acknowledging my own capabilities. This is evident in situations such as completing volunteer work or transitioning to design or IT-related jobs despite having a non-related academic background.
2. Decision-Making.
While I consider myself an efficient person, I sometimes struggle with making decisions, particularly when it comes to selecting a content management system (CMS). Once I have made a decision on which CMS to use, however, I am able to quickly learn and navigate the system, much like choosing a meal for lunch and then eating it promptly.
