Self-Taught myself when I was around 14; Joined a CS course at 17; Am 24 now;

I started learning c/c++ because I found books lying around and found the compiler installed on my windows 98. I later fiddled with some HTML at school and picked up with CSS & JS to show off cool/pretty things. I tried building small games and php websites until I moved to college where I picked up backend development.

Once I got into college, I started taking up freelance projects as a hobby for extra cash. But a professional job didn't happen until I graduated.
