Very cool! Thanks for sharing :) Really dig the journey you took. Looks like you have a lot of experience as a non-developer. Would you say some of the skills you have from your prior jobs helps as a developer? Really believe it would.

Definitely! Working in a call center somewhat helped me gain an understanding of how people living in Canada and Australia think. Sales taught me how to stand my ground and persuade 😄. Being a Business Development Executive in a startup taught me how to think & create strategies on my own(aligned with the companies vision, of course). And being a Relationship Manager taught me how to sell in a building-a-relationship-with-the-client manner 😄
