I’m Tim, 33 year old single dad making a career change into development. I’ve been studying coding for a while now, and over the last year I’ve been deep diving into learning all I can about the front end. I love helping anyone I can with the things I’ve learned so far, and I’m currently trying to land my first coding job! I’ve been a lurker on DEV for a while now, but I’m trying to actively engage more with the community :)
I’ve applied to a few places, but only really started sending out resumes this last week, so it’s still early days. I know the general consensus is to start applying a little before you think you’re actually ready, so that’s what I’m doing. I feel like I have a strong grasp of the basics, I’ve built a few projects, and I try to practice as much as possible.
Thanks! It’s certainly a lot to deal with, but I’m really passionate about development (particularly the accessibility side of things), and I’m committed to the career change, so I’m doing my best.

Vielen Dank! Ich wahr geboren im Deutschland, und meine Mutter’s Seite der Familie ist Deutsch, aber meine Grammatik ist nicht so gut ;).
