When I was 17, I stumbled upon the exciting world of web development, right after getting my first internet connection.

At first, I dipped my toes into the basics using Microsoft FrontPage. A tool that, while simple, opened up a world of possibilities for me.

I started with small experiments, dragging and dropping elements, and marveling at how I could bring ideas to life on a screen. It felt like crafting digital art; every click and tweak was a step closer to something real and uniquely mine.

But as much as I wanted to dive deeper, the looming high school exams required my full attention. So, reluctantly, I had to set this newfound passion aside and focus on my studies.

The lightbulb moment came during my second year of my BTS program, espacially during Christmas holidays. Web development, which had always fascinated me, resurfaced, and this time, I was ready to dive in wholeheartedly.

It was around then that PHP started gaining traction in the web world, praised for its ease of use. Curious to explore this new language, I decided to give it a try.

What started as curiosity quickly turned into countless hours spent exploring HTML, CSS, PHP & MySQL. I remember the thrill of seeing my first « Guest Book » page come to life—simple, yet it felt like magic.

I was captivated by how easily it could bring dynamic content to the screen, creating interactive experiences with surprising simplicity.

This sparked a growing passion for the language, and I eagerly began developing my very first dynamic website.

Early in my professional journey, I quickly realized the importance of standing out during in job interviews. The idea of showcasing a personal project that demonstrated my skills felt like the perfect approach. That’s how E.N Develop came to life.

This project became my playground to both apply and deepen my web development knowledge, building hands-on experience while fueling my passion for the field. Every free moment I’ve got in my days was dedicated to dive into tutorials and devouring any online resource I could find.

I’d often lose track of time, staying up well past midnight—whether it was to build new features or break them down to understand how they worked. There were countless frustrating moments with broken code and confusing errors, but the feeling of finally getting something right was like solving a thrilling puzzle.

It wasn’t just a hobby; it became part of my daily routine, like a playground where I could experiment and learn.

Since then, my enthusiasm for web development—and PHP, in particular—has only grown. It’s led me to continuously learn, evolve, and innovate within this ever-changing landscape.
