My journey as a self-taught individual brought me to this moment to celebrate my journey and share my story as a self-taught developer who didn't attend bootcamps or take computer science classes in school. Despite not following the conventional path, I have achieved significant success developing myself, and I'm continuously working towards reaching even greater heights in my career.
When I first dive into the world of software engineering, I didn't have the privilege to attend boot camps or enrol in formal computer science courses. However, this didn't deter me from pursuing my passion and carving my own unique path to success.
As a self-taught developer, I relied on my insatiable curiosity and resourcefulness to acquire knowledge and skills. I immersed myself in online resources, devoured tutorials and guides, and tirelessly practiced coding on my own. The journey of self-study was challenging, but it instilled in me a sense of discipline and the ability to learn independently.
While many people have benefited from the structured education (University), I found alternative ways to expand my horizons. I explored online coding platforms, joined developer communities, and actively sought out mentors who could guide me along the way. Their guidance, combined with my determination, propelled me forward on my journey.
As I gained confidence in my abilities, I started working on personal projects that allowed me to apply and refine my skills. I start building smalls projects, created websites, and delved into open-source contributions. These endeavours not only demonstrated my competence to potential employers but also ignited a sense of creativity and problem-solving within me. What I will promise to myself that my journey is far from over and no matter the obstacle I will continue to dive deeper and deeper.
I will never stopped seeking opportunities to grow and improve. I embraced professional experience as a crucial aspect of my journey. Starting in entry-level positions, I eagerly absorbed knowledge and took on new challenges. Each role offered me the chance to learn from experienced colleagues, gain practical insights, and contribute meaningfully to real-world projects.
No matter who's story the potential to inspire others and showcase the limitless potential in this world, continuing to push boundaries and reach new heights the possibilities are endless
