Thread: Web Developer as I am Now

It's inspirational and motivating experience. The fact is that one who dare to stand alone in difficult time to look for new opportunities and survive takes a big leap. The experience which you have faced will give you courage to overcome obstacles all over your life and will lead to your ultimate destiny.

Ya.. its true.. one should work hard and should achieve his/her aims..whatever the obstacles will be in your ways..

I choose the project option, thinking it would be easier plus I could take some extra courses I wanted to have. So I started working with Dr. Paul Juell, associate profession at the department of CS, building a web-based system that would manage students waiting to be enrolled in a class, but cant register at the moment because of the class capacity. It was a Java Servlet based web application, Java was a hot thing back then. That was the beginning of my web development.

Most CS major students don't like to take web development as their profession, they mostly choose core programming. For me I would have taken anything to get over the bad economic time.

When I graduated we were in the middle of a bad economic recession. I moved to Boston, I had a friend there. I had a $500 Toyota camry car filled with my stuffs driving to Boston. All the way as I was driving, I was praying to God so it doesn't break down in the middle of the road; then I would not be able to pay for a bus fair to Boston. I had money to pay for gas only halfway. I got a small $50 loan from a friend of mine in Michigan.

After a few months of tough time, I found a small job managing a html based e-commerce website. During that time they made about $2000 per month to the max. I started working really hard for them, with unpaid overtimes. I was the only one in the team.

After a year they started selling $30,000+ per month. Everybody was so impressed. They had me develop a whole new system to compete with the big guys online. At the end of 3 years they made 5 million dollars yearly sales and growing.

Now I have started my web development firm Boston Web Developer.

I don't know if its inspirational. But I do have a dream to go forward, thats what drives me work hard every day.

Bravo bro, you are really an inspiration for me. Keep it up

really motivating story, thanks for sharing!

its a really inspired story

Nice Story Mate.

Inspiring and motivating.Its always nice to hear stories behind successful people.

Very inspiring and I am very encouraged to replicate the success story for myself this 2011.

Am hoping to gain more web design experience myself.

That is a great inspirational story. I work in the construction industry but have "dabbled" with computers for many years. Build a few applications and make a little revenue from Ad Sense. Its been a real learning curve as the little I know is all self taught. There was no computers in school back in the Flint Stone age.

You are great!You have been working hard all the time ,and I believe you will success and realize your dreams!Good luck to you!

Success has no shortcut ..I've Learnt this from your story...

Wow.. you took that business a long way. Congratulations on your success there. It just goes to show that hard work and dedication are way pay off. An inspirational story, to say the least.
