## How I Started Building with Code

Seeing a teacher automate folder creation with a batch script made me curious about what else I could make a computer do. During junior high and high school, I taught myself Java and Python and treated code like building blocks, trying combinations and exploring the possibilities. I built desktop applications, a Scientific American podcast downloader, Chrome extensions, a music downloader, Kiwiview’s first website and automation scripts. Some experiments also answered a specific need, such as Econographer, a Word add-in for the economics diagrams we used in class. The projects follow that period in chronological order.
