Welcome to Code & Coffee

Hey There

Welcome to Code & Coffee — my personal corner of the internet where I share the behind-the-scenes journey of learning, building, and thinking like a developer.

I'm a first-year Industrial Chemistry student with a passion for tech, I was recently awarded a scholarship into the Dyen Web Development programme. Between school, self-learning, I’m currently navigating life as a solo dev while working on small projects that blend code with AI, automation, and real-world use cases.

The name “Code & Coffee” isn’t just a name — it represents the two sides of my developer journey, “Code” represents the technical side — programming, experiments, tutorials, and lessons learned. “Coffee” captures the rest — brainstorming, late-night ideas, burnout, reflections, and the messy-but-real process of becoming better. Whether you're a student, a dev, or just curious about the journey, I’m really glad you’re here.

What To Expect In this Blog

Like I said earlier, this blog is part journal, and part resource hub. Here’s the kind of content you’ll find here:

• Real-world coding lessons from building projects like RESTful APIs, backend workflows, interactive frontends, full-stack web applications, AI chatbots, AI-powered product and more.

• Beginner-friendly lessons in JavaScript (Node.js and TypeScript), MySQL (with Sequelize), development, and much more as i learn on the way.

• Behind-the-scenes posts on building in public as a solo dev, scholarship student in the Dyen Web Development programme, and Industrial Chemistry undergrad.

• Reflections and rants on burnout, learning curves, and staying motivated.

• Tech experiments with AI tools, APIs, and essential developer resources.

Thanks for stopping by and reading this far — whether you’re here to learn something new, follow my dev journey, or just enjoy some honest, caffeine-fueled tech talk. I’m excited to build, write, and grow in public, and I’d love to have you along for the ride.

Don’t close this tab just yet — my first real post drops soon.
