Hey there 👋

I'm owahai. usually go by owa though. Nice to see you!

I'm a hobby developer, and I'm self-taught. While I might not be the best, I've always loved automating anything I do by hand

If I had to, I'd consider myself more of a backend developer (don't really like frontend much 😭) - I mostly code in Javascript but I do some Python here and there mostly for the great AI tools it has

A little story about me:

Ever since I joined Discord in 2017, Discord bots were the first thing I saw on my way in. It was truly fascinating to me how a robot can google for you things, moderate members while you might be gone, etc. At the time, the idea of developing a Discord bot seemed like an impossible challenge to me but I decided to start asking around for help with the development of Discord bots, peeping in chats about JS development from time to time. During one of my usual peeps in to chats, a person approached me at the time and asked me if I was willing to learn Javascript for real. Obviously, I agreed. I started learning Javascript from the spoon-fed code I got while also watching YouTube tutorials about Javascript development in general. From there & onwards, I kept adding features to my now defunct Cookie discord bot & managed to turn "some heads". It wasn't very special, but it was my baby steps nontheless.

Since then, I've been taking on ambitious projects to regularly refresh my mind. While a lot of my projects are private for due reason (horrible code, unmaintained) -- I'd love to one day upload everything I have to GitHub.

That's all, Take care! :)
