I have a background in mechanical and automation engineering and am currently employed by Lowe's as a React.Js frontend developer. So I got a college placement at Infosys Ltd (India's second largest consulting firm). They taught us everything from basic to advanced programming on multiple tech stacks. I now have nearly 6 years of coding experience. Companies believe in candidates regardless of their coding experience. They believed in me, and I would do the same.
