Before my journey into software development, I spent the bulk of my time in Hospitality. The difference I made in many people’s days is one of the things that led me to want to do more to better people’s lives. I also had to come up with solutions to customer’s problems, where they and the company were both happy. This took a massive amount of problem solving that was taught to me over the course of my experience before tech. Although I had always had a passion for coding, it wasn’t until I met a customer while working in pest control that introduced me a bit more to the day to day and what developers actually do. I realized that I could do this as well, and continue problem solving in a way that I had always found so fascinating. This is what really lit my passion for development, and with every piece of code I come across or new technology that is developed, that passion only grows.
