My Journey So Far

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved cars. I spent countless hours playing with toy cars and dreaming of the open road. As I grew older, my fascination only deepened—I wanted to understand how they worked. So, it seemed only natural to become a mechanic.

However, after just a month in my first job, I was laid off. This setback led to an existential crisis: Was I not meant for the car industry? Was I not good enough?

Determined to find my path, I studied Mechatronics at a university. There, I discovered programming—it was like unlocking a hidden treasure chest, opening up endless possibilities. Yet, something was missing. My heart still belonged to cars, and I couldn't shake the desire to combine my tech skills with my automotive passion.

That's why Engineer-A-Car was born. Although I'm somewhat of a generic software engineer now (back-end, web dev, etc.), my goal is to transition into more automotive-specific roles. This blog is my way of blending my two passions—automotive technology and software engineering—into something meaningful. Here, I share my experiences, insights, and projects as I explore the fascinating intersection of cars and code.
