Why I want to be a Frontend Developer and How HNG Will Help Me Achieve My Goals

After surveying several niches, I came to the conclusion that front-end development would be the best fit for me. But how did I come to that conclusion? 🤔
I engaged in a two-week session on front-end development and was fascinated by how code could be interpreted by the browser, transforming into stunning websites.

The desire to acquire a skill and become rich within a few months initially attracted me to tech. However, after a few months, I realized I had to let go of the unrealistic expectation of getting rich quickly. I initially thought front-end development was easy, but I soon discovered there was much more to it.

As I progressed in my career pursuit in both front-end development and Physiotherapy, I realized how I could actually use these skills to solve problems in the healthcare space. My enthusiasm for combining tech and health grew stronger, further fueling my zeal to become a developer—probably not just a front-end developer in the coming years. I’m staying motivated to learn these skills and apply them in the real world, if God permits.

How HNG Will Help Me Achieve My Goals as a Front-End Developer

  • Mentorship sessions, advice from experts, and webinars that will prepare me for the future.
  • Gaining real-world experience is another key aspect. I hope to work on real-world projects, collaborate with others in the tech space, and improve my skills.
  • Networking with like-minded people to grow and learn.
  • Building teamwork and strong communication skills.
  • Get updates on the latest technologies and learning how to evolve and grow in the tech space.
  • Most importantly, discover the best way to prepare for interviews and get hired as a React or JavaScript developer.

My Goals

  • Build my portfolio and update my resume.
  • Gain hands-on experience.
  • Work on projects and brainstorm ideas with teammates.
  • Gain experience working in teams.

How Do I Plan to Achieve Them?
