# My first post. The start of something new. I should probably introduce myself first. # Hello, I'm Elijah.. a developer. ![Elijah Ajadi](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1719017982415/2837973e-e5e8-4265-8e96-586a97d31059.jpeg align="left") Currently in my 3rd year studying Computer Science at LAUTECH, I'm a avid learner and collaborator (yeah.. it's pasted on my profile too : )). I got into tech at 17 and built my first blog the same year. Since then, it's been an incredible journey up to this point. # So why'd I decide to write? I've always had a thing for writing (to be honest) I've always wanted to write, but i never saw the need to. Looking back at the last few years I wish I wrote something down at some point, something I could look back to, something that could guide others. Finding out the great power and potential writing has is one of my biggest finds in 2024. And I've decided to share my thoughts and experiences, to help me reflect on my progress and also help other developers who might be passing through same experiences. > help me reflect on my progress and also help other developers who might be passing through same experiences. In essence I've discovered writing is one of many means to improve my growth as a developer and I'm ready to bank on it. ### ..well I'm not some sassy blogger promising you latest tech trends, but my experiences and opinions as a developer.. If you want to stick around, or you are interested in my story as a developer (or not) thank you. That'll probably be great. And let it begin.. Thank you for reading through See you next time.
