In 4th grade, I built my first website with Microsoft FrontPage and absolutely zero idea what I was doing. These days, kids build AI models before breakfast, but back then, dragging buttons around in FrontPage felt like pure magic.
When the web could not contain my ambitions anymore, I graduated to what I considered the peak of native app development. That peak being quiz games built in Microsoft Word. The canvas was unlimited, the drag-and-drop capabilities unmatched… at least in my mind.
Sadly, those first digital masterpieces are lost somewhere on a floppy disk in the abyss of time. But that same wide-eyed curiosity about what technology could do – that stuck with me. From those early experiments to today, I’ve never stopped trying to push digital boundaries, just with slightly better tools than Word.
