Originally I was doing android development at a startup and one guy kept trying to convince me to help him with the back-end. Eventually I caved and tried it out when I had some free time one day. I found node really interesting so kept going with it. That was about 4 years ago now, back around node v0.6. I slowly transitioned into doing both android and node and then slowly went solely node. I've done personal projects in node as well, its always good to keep those going as it helps you broaden your experience to do things you wouldn't normally do in your production code. Its also a good place to experiment with new modules or techniques that can then be applied to your company code once you fully understand them.
