Why I started Tech Journey from Web Dev?

"What's so special in webdev that every newbie starts from there!?

And honestly, I used to wonder the same thing.

My original interest was never just web development. I’ve always been fascinated by AI — the idea of building something like my own version of ChatGPT, training intelligent systems, and creating tools that can think, respond, and help people.

But while exploring that path, I realized something important: before jumping into AI or machine learning, I needed a strong foundation.

For me, that FOUNDATION became web development...

Web development felt like the perfect starting point because it’s practical, beginner-friendly, and gives visible results. When you build a webpage, you instantly see what you created. Every small improvement feels rewarding — a button works, a layout looks cleaner, an animation runs smoothly. Those small wins keep motivation alive.

On the other hand, machine learning is a much deeper journey. It involves mathematics, statistics, data handling, algorithms, and concepts that often take time before showing meaningful progress. Learning ML without understanding fundamentals can feel overwhelming.

Web development also sparked my creativity.

When I see beautifully designed websites — especially interactive experiences built with libraries like Anime.js or 3D environments powered by Three.js — it reminds me that technology is not only about logic, but also about presentation, storytelling, and experience.

I realized that websites are more than just pages on the internet..!

They are a way to share ideas visually, build products, express creativity, and turn concepts into something people can interact with.

So I didn’t start with web development because it was the easiest option.

I started with it because it felt like the strongest first step toward everything I eventually want to build.
