My Journey & Experience
I embarked on my React.js journey in 2020, right after mastering the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. At the time, modern production applications were overwhelmingly built with React for its unmatched component-driven flexibility. Early on, I remember trying to query DOM nodes directly with vanilla JavaScript before React had even finished rendering—an amusing beginner mistake that quickly taught me the power of the virtual DOM, declarative state management, and lifecycle hooks. Over the years, React has formed the cornerstone of my frontend architecture.
