- Software Developer
- Javascript & Python
- and More
Greetings! I am a pharmacist in the midst of a career change with the goal of becoming a software developer. At the beginning of this year, I began studying computer science at Oregon State University after a few years of attempting to break into the tech industry without a degree (bootcamp, MOOCs, tutorials, etc). Learning to code has shown me that my true passion lies in using code to build applications that solve problems. Most of the code that I have written has been in Javascript or Python, but I've also had the opportunity to use Java, C, Ruby, Rocket, x86/Assembly and others.
Expected Gradation: Mar 2022
