I am actually coming from Geosciences working in science for a while. However, I always loved working with computers and wanted to know how to code. Since I came from science and worked with a lot of data analysis, I started off for coding through data science.
I used my parental leave time to start learning frontend coding with HTML, CSS, Javascript and Design concepts from branding to responsive design.
After one year studying, I found my first real coding job, yeah! - where I started learning about Ruby on Rails! Fun!
