My journey into web development could have been conventional, but it wasn't.
As empowering as my discreet mathematics course was back in college (Pascal, anyone?), I gravitated toward the humanities. That was the 1990s: Netscape, ChickClick, and a lost-era Craigslist. The 'Sams Teach Yourself' series was my motor—but only at home. I was devoted to working with language and helping people outside of tech spaces. When I finally took some formal web development courses, it was the 2010s. Modern web development was taking shape, and the pull IT had on me was real. Today I channel my skills and experiences from the humanities into full-stack web development, blending curiosity, empathy, and human connection with the dynamic problem-solving culture that defines the tech industry.
