Example

Rina started learning backend development after hitting a wall trying to scale her personal finance tracker. Frontend was fine, but she had no idea how to store user data or handle logins. She picked a basic tech stack — Node.js with Express and MongoDB — and built her first API. It was messy, but over time, she learned how to structure routes, manage auth, and think through system design. She didn’t become a backend wizard overnight, but now she can actually ship working, secure apps without breaking everything.
