I was selling phones for a while. Then started school for sys admin type work. Moved over to the Geek Squad and fixed hardware for a while. Then got offered a job doing actual IT work. I studied for a while, got all my Comptia Certs. Then I switched to the Microsoft Sys Admin certs. At some point I decided I wanted to make more money while I was actually making stuff. So I switched to software.
Been coding for a couple years now. When I first started coding I was learning front end stuff. How to develop sites using HTML/CSS JavaScript. I was obsessed about Ruby on Rails for like a month (like most other people). Then jumped over to learning PHP and making PHP projects. Then I learned Python and switched to back end stuff. All of that over about two or three years. About a year ago I got offered the job of taking over our SCADA, machine and quality software maintenance and development. So I've been doing that.
These days, I'm focusing on coding tools for animation studios, machine learning and opsec coding. I've always been obsessed with making and analyzing movies. I want to get into that so I can make the tools for making animated movies. I'm hoping to jump onto an animation studio team in the next year or two. See where I go from there.
Literally amazed at the thought of making tools for animation! That's an insanely creative way to apply coding talent and I'll be honest; creative paths aren't really talked about much in university (at least the one I attend) so that's super-freakin-awesome. I'll be sure to keep my eye out for your name when I see animations 👀👀👀

It's long winded and convoluted, but there it is.

They should be talked about more. Creative outlets keep you sane, not to mention are really just another form of practicing creative problem solving.
