Hi Everyone! I used to be an analytical chemist for environmental compliance but after 12 years I decided to make a career switch. I’m a few weeks out from finishing bootcamp and I wish I had done it years ago. This is definitely what I want to be doing.

We learned JavaScript, C#, .NET core, React, and we’re just about to start Redux. Then more React, an Indy project, and BOOM, out into the cold, cold world. More or less. 😁

Now, having even the little bit of beginner skill I have makes me want to learn/make ALL THE THINGS and it’s been tough to narrow down my scope of interest. I want to leverage my experience and I’m interested in designing better laboratory information management system UI.

Another thing I’ve thought about is automating more of my old job. I’m curious about what’s out there for automating sample prep and analysis and what writing that software looks like.

Anyway, back to studying!
