During the last few years, I've come a long way. Each year, before my annual review, I started asking myself "Do I know more about x than I did last year?" The answer is an overwhelming yes!</p> <p>This year I plan to venture out of my comfort zone. I started giving small lighting talks to my peers at work, and I just submitted my first talk to a local tech conference. I also am a mentor for a local university's "Women in IT Mentoring Program".</p> <p>I am grateful for all of my friends and co-workers who mentor me on a daily basis. </p> <h2> I deserve credit for </h2> <p>Not giving up on my own dev journey.</p> <h2> I hope to see my school/work/developer/tech community </h2> <p>Continue be supportive of all developers. I want to see more people considering a career in tech as an option.</p> wecoded Kimberly Wed, 08 Mar 2017 15:30:14 +0000 https://dev.to/kimmyrae/nevertheless-kimberly--coded https://dev.to/kimmyrae/nevertheless-kimberly--coded <h2> I began coding because... </h2> <p>It was a complete accident. I was working at a startup when a lead developer told me I should learn to code. Not knowing what I was getting myself into, I took a few classes. I eventually enrolled in a front end web development program at my local university, and here I am 2 years later. I love the feeling I get when I make things that actually work.</p> <h2> I'm currently hacking on... </h2> <p>I am a front end web developer working at a large company on many different projects. </p> <p>As a personal side project, I built a yoga class finder. I am currently conducting my own user studies on it!</p> <h2> I'm excited about... </h2> <p>The opportunity to continuously grow and learn. The opportunities are endless! I also am excited to learn more about web design and usability testing.</p> <h2> My advice for other women who code is... </h2> <p>Don't give up! If you get stuck, find someone you can go to to ask for help. It is normal to feel intimidated or even hopeless sometimes. Help others, it will help you learn! Continue to learn and don't be afraid to try something new. </p> wecoded Kimberly Tue, 07 Mar 2017 14:14:00 +0000 https://dev.to/kimmyrae/hi-im-kimberly https://dev.to/kimmyrae/hi-im-kimberly <p>I have been coding for 2 years.</p> <p>You can find me on GitHub as <a href="https://github.com/Kimmyrae" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kimmyrae</a></p> <p>I live in Omaha.</p> <p>I work for Gallup.</p> <p>I mostly program in these languages: HTML, CSS.</p> <p>I am currently learning more about WCAG, User Research, front-end web development.</p> <p>Nice to meet you.</p> introduction
