Two years ago I decided I wanted to pick up a new skill, HTML and CSS seemed like the perfect skill. Web pages had always interested me so it seemed like the perfect thing to try and pick up.
I started working on my HTML and CSS skills and was able to get a project to work on from a coworker at the time. My job was to work on the design of a baby clothing website. Working on this website in my free time made me start to question the marketing path I was considering going down. I was trying to teach myself coding, however I was having a hard time moving on from HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I continued to maintain that front end for about a year. I got a different job and put coding on the back burner.
Earlier 2020, I tried to go the route of self-teaching again. This once again was difficult because I could not figure out a curriculum that worked for me. I would start different routes but something else always seemed like the better path.
So finally after 2 years I decided to finally give Flatiron Bootcamp a go. After spending 2 years working on my career, doing marketing operations, I started learning about different roles at my current company that I was more interested in. I spoke to many Software Engineers at my company to understand what they worked on, and what path they took to learn software engineering and this really solidified that was what I wanted to spend my time working on.
I am really looking forward to be taking this next step in my coding journey!
