I am delighted that I am able to be part of this awesome community and read all your inspiring, creative and helpful posts. </p> <p>A year ago is also pretty much when I started my coding journey.</p> <p>I have always been interested in computers and technology, so coding just felt like the logical next step. <br> Some background about me: My name is Bobby and I am former professional footballer, currently living in the U.K. I have recently decided to change careers(aged 33) and decided to get into coding full time. <br> I’ve been studying on the side whilst playing football and I felt like now (with “the Rona” amongst us) was the right time to call it a day. <br> I’m really excited for the journey ahead and I am so looking forward to all the challenges that lie ahead. It will be a complete 180 degree switch but I am determined to make this work. <br> Thank you all once again for your amazing contributions and this amazing website. I’m hoping to be able to contribute more in the future and share what I learn and what my transition from balls to code is like. </p> <p>Thank you and speak soon.<br> Bobby </p> react javascript soccer developer
