Hi Dev community! This is Bhagyashree. I am a Computer engineer turned into developer into mom into Founder into freelance wordpress developer into a student who wants to be a Full stack developer. 😅 I am currently building my side project in MERN stack. I am also founder/developer of regional community maitrin.com which is specifically built for women who speak/read Marathi language. It’s built on drupal cms and it has been very popular in regional community. We currently have 1250+ registered users and about 30million page views. I love to build new things and learn new technologies. I will be looking for full time opportunities in LA or remote soon. But the imposter syndrome is very real! 😖I never feel ready. One thing that kinda dragged me down personally was getting my son diagnosed with autism. He is 9 year old and non verbal but communicates so much through his eyes! 🙂 It was a very difficult journey getting back from the dark place and start having dreams about working full time again. But will get there I guess. Oh yeah, I also love to write. But I haven’t really written anything related to technology except this essay right here. 😄 Hoping to start my blogging journey here.

Welcome to the community, Bhagyashree!

I live with ADHD, and I'm raising a teenage girl with ADHD. You will find so many in the community that can relate to your challenges on some level. I wish you the best on your journey!

Thank you so much Jesse! I was wondering this, and thought we should have a group of parents of special needs kids. I created a list on twitter for this purpose. twitter.com/i/lists/11950491702240...
Let me know if anyone want to be added there.

Thanks Nick! I am about to buy my first Macbook and was just now reading your post about setup. :) I might start commenting there once I am done with setup.
