in 2011, when i was only 15 years old, i decided to build myself a website to showcase my photographs. while working on it, i began adding modules and expending features:

• handmade front-end design
• front & back ends build from nothing, in PHP5 and MySQL
• when uploading a photograph, the back-end will extract it’s metadata and store it in the DB
• fully-featured shopping cart to buy pictures through PayPal (PP integration no longer working)
• blogging section using WordPress (no longer functional)
• showcase section with other art projects
• users would buy pictures and received an encrypted link by email, allowing them to download a server-generated zip file containing the picture and license.

it then began clear that programming was a bigger passion than photography! a year later, when i backed up the site, i forgot to choose a latin encoding, resulting in weird glyphs on the restored website

please, dont judge
