Do You Have Experience Doing Freelance Web Development?

I'm curious like how the sort of transition was for you going from being an employee to trying to do contract work. Like did you have experienced doing freelance work in like the electrical engineering field or in some other field before or did you just watch a lot of YouTube videos and jump in? Well, I watched YouTube, but it was more than that. So I guess the way that happened was so there was a particular video that I had watched and this kind of YouTuber that I would follow who advised like if you're going to start with web development or software engineering, go towards the path of react.
