Seeking to See the Intangible: Why I Chose Software Engineering

In this information-overloaded world, technology has become inseparable from our lives — shaping our routines, simplifying our tasks, and at times, even making things more complicated.

While we can't escape it, the reality is this: we can choose how we use it. Technology, when used with intention, becomes a powerful tool — not just for convenience, but for creating meaning, solving problems, and driving real impact.

I've always been curious about how this world works.

Who created it? Why are we so deeply interdependent? How does the human body — so elegant on the outside — contain such incredible complexity within?

These questions have echoed in my mind since school, ever since I first realized I could think beyond what I was taught. And yet, even now, I haven’t found the answers.

How? Who? Why? — questions so vast, a single lifetime isn’t enough to answer them. Maybe not even seven rebirths, as some say.

But somewhere along the way, life nudged me toward a path. A different path. One where I began to search for these same answers — not in the physical world, but in the systems we build inspired by it.

Oh wait — when I say “systems,” don’t jump to Java classes and programming yet. I mean "objects" in the truest sense — people, ideas, forces, things. Living or non-living. Visible or invisible.

Software engineering, to me, became more than a career. It became a new lens to explore the same timeless questions — by building, modeling, debugging, and constantly learning from the world we try to replicate..
