My Story
- My first real exposure to tech came during an internship, where I worked on web scraping for a data analytics company that provided economic insights to paid subscribers
- I was fascinated by the idea that a business product could be entirely digital. That moment sparked my interest in tech, and I began paying attention.
- I realized I was more interested in web applications than mobile apps because it’s easier to share and access web apps, just a simple link. That insight led me to enroll in a software engineering bootcamp focused on building web applications.
- After completing the bootcamp, we were encouraged to choose a path, frontend or backend. I’ve always been a visual thinker, and with React gaining popularity at the time, I decided to focus on becoming a frontend engineer.
- Fast forward to today, I’ve worked as a frontend engineer at four companies, with the most notable being Clarifai, and I’m now diving into backend within the Node ecosystem.
I'm also actively seeking my next role!
