I let AI write whole features.

Felt fast until I spent weeks cleaning it up.

Now I use LLMs for reviews, design checks, edge cases.

It's not replacing me, it's leveling me up.

Your Shopify store loses sales every second. We cut 2.1s off a client’s load: optimized images, lazy-loaded content, cleaned CSS & deferred scripts. Load 3.7s → 1.6s, -26% bounce, +40% conversions. Comment "SPEED" for my audit checklist.

Got rejected from a job I knew I had. 💔
Turned the loss into a system: mock interviews, open-source project, new resume.
Landed a better job weeks later.
Rejection isn’t the end—it’s redirection. 🚀

I didn’t grow up around tech.
I Googled everything.
Failed. Debugged at midnight.
Taught code to kids.
Landed clients.

No class teaches what 2 years in the field will.

Show up scared.
Show up anyway.
You’re not behind—you’re just starting. 💻❤️

Falling off on discipline doesn’t mean you failed.
It means you’re human.

Now it’s time to remember why you started.
Stand up. Recommit. Go again.

One stumble doesn’t erase the path—
you’re still on it.

ChatGPT said 2021 wasn’t 15 years ago… then confidently said it was 15 years ago.
This is what’s supposed to replace us?

We’re panicking over a glorified autocorrect that can’t subtract.
AI isn’t replacing us it’s just really loud and really wrong.

They said junior devs can’t freelance.

That I needed years of experience first.

But I landed paid clients by betting on myself.

Now I’m chasing consistent, remote freelance work—on my terms. Keep going. You’re closer than you think. 💻✨

Just asked God to show me a heart today. Forgot I even said it. Hours later, I saw a heart in my food. If you needed a sign—this is it. God is with you. 💛🙏 #Faith #Signs #GodIsWithYou

If no one told you today: I love y’all. 💙

You’re doing your best. You’re not behind.

You deserve rest, clarity, and the big break you’ve been hoping for.

Keep going. You belong in tech. We got this.

I switched careers during a tech recession.

Everyone said not to. I did it anyway. It was scary, slow, and full of rejection—but I kept going.

Now I’m in tech, and it was worth it. Don’t wait for the market. Bet on yourself. Grow anyway.

Shedding toxic people or negative parts of yourself is brave and necessary. ✂️

🛡️ Protect your peace, set boundaries, and make space for growth. 

The best version of you is waiting on the other side of letting go. 💪

2020: Depressed. No direction. Wanted to be an entrepreneur. My mom was sick, the pandemic hit, I was overweight and lost.

2025: UI intern. Lost 50 lbs. 1,300+ followers. Building my brand. Same person, different story.

Your life can change in 5 years.
