Breaking Free from the Tyrant’s Hold

Every journey begins with that first, sometimes, hesitant step. A revelation that challenges the status quo and pushes us to question the forces that hold us back. I’ve always known that someday I would share my journey, documenting both my professional insights and personal growth. Yet, somehow, I kept putting it off. Taking that first step, because, as they say, a journey truly begins with a single step.
For a while, I felt confined by voices and expectations that claimed to have my best interests at heart, only to realize they were merely blockages. I have always been passionate about tech and proudly wear many hats: Technical Project Manager (a title bestowed upon me by my idol 🙃), Business Analyst, QA, CRM Developer, and even AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (a nod to my roots, even if I haven't practiced full time in a bit). My connection to the tech space runs deep, and my journey of learning and evolving is far from over. I’ve come to understand that true growth requires shedding limiting influences and daring to shine on our own terms.
This post, yes, this very one, marks the start of a new chapter (cliché much), a chapter where I break free from past constraints, embrace my experiences, and share the lessons learned along the way. From technical challenges to strategic breakthroughs and personal reflections, I’m excited to document what it means to evolve on my own terms.

Whether you're a fellow tech enthusiast or someone looking for inspiration to break free from constraints, I hope these posts resonate with you. Let’s embark on this journey together.
