signal experiments in public โ€” a self-taught developer's journey

Hi, I'm a self-taught developer with a story that might resonate with you. For years, I worked as a tradesperson โ€” honest, hard work I was proud of. But life took an unexpected turn when I was injured on the job. Suddenly, the career I'd built was no longer an option.

After my injury, I drove for rideshare companies to make ends meet. During those long hours behind the wheel, I started thinking about my future. I knew I needed to learn something new โ€” something that could give me independence and a fresh start.

That's when I discovered coding. About 6 months ago, I started teaching myself to build with the help of AI tools. Coming from a trades background with no formal tech education, every line of code was a victory. I've learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, APIs, serverless infrastructure, CDN delivery, and more.

This platform? I built it myself. Every feed, every deployment, every problem I solved โ€” it's proof that it's never too late to reinvent yourself. From swinging hammers to writing Workers, from rideshare driver to developer, I'm living proof that with consistency and the right tools, anyone can build something real.

Right now I'm running a 333-day signal experiment โ€” posting content every day across multiple domains, tracking what compounds, and documenting the whole thing in public.
