My first years in tech
It took a while to make a final decision to all-in into Web Development. My first years were spent searching for my place in the industry. Working multiple part-time jobs as a web developer, teacher, growth hacker, sales person and community manager, collaborating with a range of backgrounds, from Serial entrepreneurs to War refugees, and traveling all over Europe in the process.
During this time, I kept a steady flow of freelance projects, most notably NomadX and Seabookings, learned React in the process, and became a Lead Teacher in Le Wagon. I since realized that building things was my vocation, and didn't look back.
How I started as a web developer
Having studied hospitality business in university, life led me to land on Le Wagon's coding bootcamp #49 in Lisbon with the intention of starting my own tech business. However, plans changed as I realized I fell in love with the puzzle-solving nature of code, and realized I had a knack for Web Development, especially the Client side of things.
