I'm an adventurous girl who recently relocated to the Netherlands. I already have a Bachelors of Science and a Masters degree, but I dream of accomplishing a career change to software development -- where I can be more creative and more in control of my job prospects.
After 5 months, I went from code newbie to a software developer. No dev bootcamp. No tricks. No shortcuts. Just studying and coding everyday and not being afraid to apply to any junior dev internship I could find.
I started my coding journey in November 2014. I started out teaching myself HTML, CSS, and Ruby on Rails by using online tutorials, google, and stackoverflow. I must have done something right, because in February, I started a 3-month junior web development internship. In April, after 5 months of hard work and coding nearly everyday, I signed a job contract as a Software Developer. I am learning new stuff everyday and work on interesting projects!
