New year, new opportunities.

Hello

Hi everyone and welcome.

A new year has just started and although I've a couple of new year resolutions, I've decided to also add blogging to the list!

Who am I?

My name is Mattias and I'm a junior developer living in Tokyo. I just graduated from Le Wagon in December 2022, but before that I spent 7 years working in technical support and as a Team Leader.

Even though that wasn't in the field of development, I've always been fascinated by it and loved the idea of building things on my own. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time on development forums and even created and hosted my own private servers for games like World of Warcraft (starting when I was just 13 years old). I've also messed around with modding games in the past.

I'm really excited to start this new year and dive into learning all sorts of new concepts and frameworks as I work towards becoming a skilled developer and who knows, maybe I can make my own mods from scratch in the future.

What will I use this blog for?

I'll be using this platform to track things I learn and projects I work on. Hope to see you around!
