My Story
I am a former tech headhunter
turned full stack software developer based in Manchester.
My journey began by chance, when I explored the idea of learning
a new language in the hope that it would open new doors for me.
I looked at Russian and Arabic, before stumbling across
programming languages.
From the moment I typed my first line of code:
I was hooked.
As I began to teach myself code, an entire new world opened up to me.
I knew this is what I wanted to do, and so the dye was cast, and all my days from then were dedicated to becoming a developer.
After a few months I enrolled in Northcoders and graduated January 2021.
With much effort and much rejection, in the midst of a third lockdown and a month after graudation I landed my first role as a Data Engineer.
Why Code?
Why Code?
I love coding for the same reason I love writing or cooking.
Because its mine. I wrote and I made it. It doesn’t matter how
good or bad it may be. I know what went into it and can be proud
of it. Its the act of writing and creating. Bringing thoughts
and ideas into reality.
I love to code as it allows me to be both methodical and creative, It has been hard at times, but it the most rewarding adventure I have ever embarked upon. It teaches me to think and plan on a granular level and build things that I never thought was possible!
