Crazy Transition here 😅
I was studying Aerospace Engineering in college as I was vastly invested in Space, Mars, The Jetsons, Time-Travel, Star Wars/Trek 🚀. But when I saw the rise of Facebook, Google, Uber, etc.. and people living amazing life through their coding job and some even landing jobs at top companies without a CS degree, I was intrigued to get into the field.
At that time, I was juggling Aerospace Degree, a Part-time job (struggling to pay for college and living a miserable life) and was about to get another side gig of learning to code (Crazy time but whatever needs to be done to get life back on track, right).
Google collaborated with Udacity and was offering Scholarships to 5000 students, hoping to get more people into tech so I applied to it and got in. That was my leap into programming and after that never looked back (Absolutely fell in love with coding). The program lasted 9 months and right after a month, I got my first internship as a Software Developer at an amazing startup (Also dropped out of College, Goodbye Aerospace lol). After finishing the internship, I got a full-time position as Software Engineer at another company which is where I am now. 😄 ✨🙌
