My journey is a wild one. I am a product of two immigrants essentially floating on a jellyfish to get to America. My studies led me to an Economics degree, a billion less hours of sleep than a normal person, and a penchant for changing up my MySpace and Tumblr profiles.
Quickly after graduating, I became a technical recruiter and learned the world of programmers and developers.
After, I ended up being an Outcomes Coordinator at two coding bootcamps teaching budding software engineers industry and market knowledge, resume building, and generally how to navigate the tech space on their own while I collected and organized outcomes data. Although I had prior experience with regressional analyses, I ended up going through the same program as my students to develop skills in full-stack development before specializing in Python, SQL, and various libraries to manipulate, organize, and visualize data.
I found myself in the middle of the worst tech market crash for a freshie, so I spent my time in a ServiceNow externship and fell in love with the platform along the way. I've since applied my coding knowledge through scripting in ServiceNow in a pre-apprenticeship. I've also taken some time to volunteer my data analytics skills for politically progressive tech organizations. I'm now at Capgemini as an IT Data Analyst for the Texas government.
That's the abridged story of how I got to the beginning of my coding journey! Thanks for taking the time to listen to my rambling.
