Why am I studying skills in web development?

Tech has always been a passion of mine. I have more recently enjoyed attending the following tech conferences and gatherings:

Part of why I'm applying for this course is because I'd like to be part of the change I'd like to see in the (tech) world

I can also be caught doing tech security workshops for organisations and marginalised folk

I am studying to be a web developer because it is time I transform my long-term hobby of tech into a future-proof career path.

Furthermore, I am an avid user of FOSS and I feel that it is time I gave back to the FOSS community.. in code!
