About Me

Alexander Macleod

My story isn't your typical one. I dropped out of high school during my 2nd year due to a diagnosis of Psuedomyoxaperitoninel PMP Cancer. Life threw me another curveball when I found myself serving a 3-year sentence in jail for aggravated assault with a weapon. But hey, even behind bars, I was determined to keep learning—I completed my GED and even scored in the high percentile.

In 2018, just before the chaos of COVID-19, my son and daughter were born. Unfortunately, circumstances led my daughter and her mother to flee to Ontario, leaving me alone in rural Nova Scotia. That's when things took a darker turn. I fell into the grips of IV Opiate, Ketamine, and Methamphetamine addiction.

From 2020 to 2022, I was deep in the underworld, selling substances to keep up with my own habit. But like any addiction story, it eventually caught up to me—I ended up $25,000 in debt with the Mob over cocaine.

By 2023, my health was hanging by a thread. I was admitted to the hospital with a serious blood infection, an enlarged heart, and vegetation on my valves—Endocarditis.

But it wasn't all downhill. During my time in and out of the hospital, I became a catalyst for change. I advocated for harm reduction protocols in Pictou County's medical system. Now, IV drug addicts like myself are given their daily dose during hospital visits, ensuring proper care without judgment.

Current Chapter: 2024

Fast forward to 2024, and I'm over a year sober. I've taught myself everything I know about full stack development, constantly honing my skills in PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Node, Python, and more.
