"Self-Taught Coding Stories of a Former Lab Scientist": CodeNewbie Podcast S25E3

It's our third episode of Season 25 of the CodeNewbie Podcast. This time, @saronyitbarek talks about self-taught coding, applying for jobs, and choosing a new career path with Vanessa Vun, Frontend Engineer at SciShield.

Vanessa Vun started her self-taught coding journey in 2022 after quitting a 10-year career as a clinical laboratory scientist. About 14 months later, she landed a job as a Frontend Engineer at SciShield, which provides a platform of solutions for research laboratories.
