“I am a software engineer at a global travel-tech company and I have been in the company for about three and a half years now. This was my first company that I’ve worked in — as someone who transitioned into tech from a different career.”
“I had a completely different career before; I was a mechanical engineer and also did a bit of project management as well, prior to me transitioning to tech.”
“I saw a few people who were trying to learn how to code — one person who was learning Java. I was a bit intrigued so I asked them what they were doing. He was actually using Codecademy at the time, so I asked him about the platform and thought, I’m going to try it too. This was just before the pandemic, and during the pandemic was when I really got into learning how to code. On my weekends, during the day, after work — that’s all I did. I didn’t have a life, basically. So that’s how I got into coding. I learned Python and Java through Codecademy.”
