Well it doesn't look like you're doing too badly so far. You are right though, I ruined a lot of beautiful green coffee without even realising it. Making it look good is the easy bit. Manipulating the flavour profile is where the years of experience comes in. You have to drink pro stuff occasionally to stop yourself thinking you're getting good at roasting!
It is still a very worthwhile thing to do and gives you a vastly greater understanding of coffee. When you nail a roast and really do the coffee justice it is incredibly satisfying, don't you think?
