I've helped businesses create websites since 2010 but didn't really decide to become a software developer professionally until 2021. This year, I completed Hack Reactor (a "12-week software engineering immersive program with 1000+ hours of coding. Full-Stack development with JavaScript, React, Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL in an AGILE environment"). To cap my educational journey off, two weeks before my graduation from the program Hack Reactor asked me to join their team as a Software Engineer in Residence (SEIR). As a SEIR, I was able to help mentor and guide several dozen aspiring software engineers, working on both their technical skills and confidence gap/imposter syndrome issues. I also designed their final team project as a mock development work client. At Hack Reactor, I have learned an enormous amount about programming, tech, and computers and now I am CONTINUING to learn rapidly in self-study. Learning is a lifelong process, as they say.
