🌟 The Story

September 2024: Started the intensive 42 Piscine with a 1-month-old newborn and 2-year-old son at home.

While other students had 8+ hours daily, I coded between feedings, nap times, and 12-hour surgical shifts. I encountered multiple project failures along the way—but each retry taught me something new.

  ],
  result: "42 Porto Graduate",

  }
};

✨ Proving that persistence and resilience overcome any obstacle ✨
