Professional Story Draft
I've spent the last couple of years of my professional career in logistics and operations. My last job was a role as the operations manager for a tech startup. This role involved managing a team of individuals and our physical warehouse space. During that time, I found myself drawn to the project side of the job, which involved working cross functionally with our engineering team. During this cross functional work, I was introduced to how software development not only played a role in my job but my normal day to day.
After the company I worked for shut down in April of 2018 I decided to look more into what I had learned from that time with software developers. After some research I realized software development shared many of my same values. One of the main values is perpetual learning. As a software engineer, technology is always evolving and you must continue to learn to stay up to date on the latest languages and processes. I pride myself on continously learning new things and pushing myself to be a more knowledgeable person. This why I decided enroll and change careers to software development career.
Hey Paul, this is great! I see a clear thread here from your background to your current pursuit of software development.
