About Me 👋
Hey there! I'm Harjot, a student at North Island College diving deep into the world of web development. I'm currently working on my Diploma in Design and Development, learning everything from HTML and CSS to JavaScript and databases. When I'm not coding (or trying to debug my code 😅), you can find me creating content for my YouTube channel or serving up burgers at A&W.
I love the creative side of web development - there's something magical about turning an idea into a working website. Still have a lot to learn, but that's what makes it exciting! Every day brings new challenges and new "aha!" moments.
