I have been actively programming in Java since 2011, working mostly on personal game development projects. Aside from programming, I <a href=\"https:\/\/melod.me\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/melod.me\/\">produce music<\/a>, create 3D animations and build things in my free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had my first touches with Java all the back in 2002 when I was just seven years old with the guidance of my father. I didn&#8217;t learn much, being a kid, but it planted a seed that would later in life start my journey as a software developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until very recently, I have only worked on closed source software for my own uses. However, that changed in April 2023, when I took part in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twoday.fi\/koodihaaste\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.twoday.fi\/koodihaaste\">twoday coding challenge<\/a> (site is in Finnish). I started three weeks before the deadline, and within that time learned the basics of Spring Boot without ever seeing code of it before, wrote the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/melodicore\/ticktacktoe\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/melodicore\/ticktacktoe\">fullstack implementation for a tick tack toe game<\/a> and ended up claiming the prize for the best backend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This achievement sparked a newfound interest in seeking employment in the software development space, and since then I have moved my personal closed source projects aside and started to work on open source projects for my <a href=\"https:\/\/datafox.me\/site\/portfolio\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"46\">portfolio<\/a>. I don&#8217;t know what the future holds but I do know that I seek to improve my skills in any way I can, for as long as I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am Lauri Heino, a 28-year-old Finnish self-taught software developer.
