// ORIGIN STORY

The Genesis
How it all started

I wasn't sure which programming language to use at first. So I made a venn diagram of the professional routes I envisaged myself taking in the near future, namely data science, full stack web development, and penetration testing.

Later, I determined which programming language would be at the intersection of all the careers in the venn diagram. After conducting extensive research on the three careers, I learned that Python could handle all three.

As a result, I began programming in Python. Then I wondered why I wouldn't merge two careers, namely web development and penetration testing, because developers eventually hand over their systems to pentesters. And that's how I ended up on these two fields.
