# Learning to Code and Building a Community

## BIO

**Name**: Erik  
**Current Occupation**: Student and self-taught programmer  
**Country**: Germany  
**Focus**: Building projects and community

A friend showed me Mimo, and I got really excited about learning to code.  
Mimo gave me a starting point and helped me build my skills step by step. It also helped me stay motivated as I kept learning and practicing.

Later, I discovered the huge GitHub community, and that opened up a whole new world for me. I started building my first website with the HTML skills I had at that point, and it became an important milestone in my progress.

"I found my love for programming."

One milestone I’m especially proud of is building my own small community around my projects and programming journey.

"Seeing people engage with what I create and supporting each other has been very meaningful to me."

My [**GitHub profile**](https://github.com/Lokrogaming) and [**first website**](https://lokrogaming.github.io/) reflect that progress and remind me how far I’ve come.
