I completed my first technical interview as a senior software engineer applicant. I always feel like i am not qualified enough to apply for such a hgih position given i have only been in software for 6 years and thought i didn't have enough experience, but been getting more requests for interviews and have my second technical tomorrow.

I also made the homepage for my portfolio website and bought my domain after being scared for so long to put myself out there.

Here is my linkedin in case anyone wants to connect:

Of course, this is a bit of a plug, but I mean it genuinely: Some of the submissions that have gone into the Deepgram Hackathon are mindblowing. 🤯

I think of it as my win only in that I was at all involved. I really encourage folks to submit something to the contest if you haven't yet. It's a great learning experience.
