Hi, I'm CtrlAltQ

From Starcraft clan leader to professional chef to web developer

From Kitchen to Code

Jeremy - CtrlAltQ

My Journey

My coding journey began in the most unexpected place - leading a Starcraft clan as a kid. When I needed a website to unite our community, I dove headfirst into HTML and CSS. That first site was rough, but the thrill of building something from code sparked a lifelong passion.

Life took me on a different path through 20 years as a professional chef, where I honed my creativity, precision, and ability to work under pressure. But that love for coding never left - it just waited for the right moment to resurface.

Now I'm combining both worlds: the strategic thinking from gaming, the meticulous attention to detail from the kitchen, and that original passion for web development. I approach coding like perfecting a signature dish - carefully crafted, rigorously tested, and constantly refined.
