Who am I?

I am a young professional who has started the journey towards becoming a software engineer. I am ambitious, goal-oriented, self-driven and disciplined, and I use these qualities among others to help push me along towards my career goals.

Why am I here?

I have had a varied background, from working in various service industry positions to corporate enterprise software sales to English Teaching in a German kindergarten. Since getting my undergrad degree, I have pushed myself to hone my professional skills in order to have a fullfilling career, but I had problems finding the career that fit me and that I fit into. I started teaching myself how to code while working full time, but I could only get 10 to 20 hours of study a week on top of my full time work and normal life. I decided to take the leap and attend Turing bootcamp. It has been a scary but highly rewarding leap, and has made me realize how possible it is to learn new complex skills.

What's next?

I want to start my career in software engineering to further my learning. I know that Turing was only the beginning of my journey, and I want to work towards mastering the art of programming in order to be a highly valuable and versatile employee.
