Aspiring Software developer recently graduated from Makers bootcamp, in January 2022, looking for a role where I can apply my programming knowledge and continue to learn new technologies and skills.

Before Makers I was working as a Project Manager for 10+ years. I worked on Projects that spanned all business functions more often than not with an IT workstream. It was working alongside devs that inspired me to start coding. Through Makers I got hooked on building software as part of team and seeing the result, which is something I lacked as a Project Manager where I was responsible for overseeing delivery rather than contributing to the actual solution. I am motivated by idea that Software Development is a life long journey of learning where technologies are constantly evolving.
