<_Introduction_>

/* Hello! I'm Paing Phyo Ko, transitioning from a path I never chose in medicine to my true passion in technology. Originally from a small town called Ahtaung, Myanmar(Burma), I've found both a new home and a fresh start in London, immersed in the tech world. */

<_Early Challenges_>

/* Growing up in Myanmar, where educational paths can be rigid, I ended up in medicine due to external expectations and family pressure. Despite becoming a doctor, my heart was never in it. I even attempted to leave the field multiple times, feeling that my true calling lay elsewhere. */

<_First Steps in Coding_>

/* During the pandemic, out of curiosity, I started coding with Harvard's CS50 course. It was just for fun at first, but I quickly found myself drawn to the challenge and creativity of programming. */

<_Commitment to Tech_>

/* By 2023, I decided to dive deep and take my interest in coding seriously. That's when I joined Founders and Coders (FAC), surrounded by a community passionate about tech. My self-study, mentorship, and collaborative projects have since shaped me into who I am in the tech world today. */

<_Future Aspirations_>

/* Now, I’m gearing up for a career in tech, ready to blend my newfound coding skills with the problem-solving and analytical abilities honed in medicine. I look forward to tackling challenges, creating innovative solutions, and continuously learning in this ever-evolving field. */

<_Final Thoughts_>

/* My shift from medicine to technology is more than just a career change; it's about pursuing my passions and pushing my limits. From Myanmar to London, from doctor to developer, this is just the beginning of my adventure in tech. I’m excited for what the future holds. */

Embarking my coding journey, I began with Harvard's CS50, a course known for laying a strong foundation in programming. Now, I'm advancing my skills at Founders and Coders (FAC), a prestigious, peer-led bootcamp that offers free web development training. Along the way, I've leaned on a variety of online resources like YouTube, freeCodeCamp, Udemy and W3Schools, and the supportive community at FAC meetups. To clarify doubts and deepen my understanding, I've also turned to AI tools like ChatGPT, Bing, and Gemini.
