I Didn't Plan a Curriculum. I Just Kept Solving Problems.

Short summary

A self-taught developer shares their unconventional learning path: solving real problems first, then pursuing certifications to validate skills already built. Starting from hospitality work, they've completed five Google certificates including AI Professional, building production tools like a 24-tool MCP server, 700K-record ETL pipeline, and few-shot email classification system. Next: UX Design certification to close remaining gaps.
