The Journey from Sound Engineer to Software Engineer: CodeNewbie Podcast

Hey hey hey!

If you are new here, hello and welcome! It's me Rachel, and I am here today with CodeNewbie Podcast, where we come to you weekly with an interview with a tech professional, sharing supportive advice for newbies in tech.

Let's get into it.

Bear putting on headphones.


Our second episode of this season just came out with our host @saronyitbarek and @aaspinwall, Frontend Engineer at Amazon.

You’ll hear how Alejandro began his career deeply immersed in the world of music and what led him to transition to tech. He emphasizes the importance of adaptability in his career shift and provides insights into how coding bootcamps played a pivotal role in his development.

Additionally, Alejandro explores the impact of artificial intelligence in his work, particularly discussing how AI tools have become an integral part of his coding toolkit. His experiences offer valuable perspectives on the practical use of AI in software engineering, and his story sheds light on the evolving nature of tech careers and the increasing role of AI in the industry.

To see more of Alejandro's work, you can visit his website here.

Transitioning from a traditional engineer to a software engineer involves a paradigm shift towards digital problem-solving. Integrating coding languages, algorithms, and software development methodologies becomes paramount. Amidst this transition, customer service remains pivotal. Whether troubleshooting intricate software bugs or enhancing user experience, the phrase punchh customer service symbolizes the commitment to client satisfaction. As a software engineer, the focus shifts from physical constructs to virtual realms, where agility and adaptability reign supreme. Embracing this evolution demands continual learning and honing of technical skills, alongside cultivating the ability to empathize with end-users, making punchh customer service not just a phrase, but a guiding principle in the software engineering journey.
