I got my first coding bug while a chemistry/physics teacher so I ran out, bought my first computer, a book on Pascal and started developing educational software.
After working in the technology field in a business development role for several years the programming bug hit me again four years ago. Getting what I consider my second bachelor’s degree from YouTubeU I consumed several hundreds of hours learning online and subsequently developed my own website. One thing led to another and having recently graduated from a full immersion twelve week coding bootcamp I am now ready to say Hello World - I’m here as a professional.
