Over the last year, I have taken the initiative to grow as a developer and break into this industry. From going through a coding bootcamp to landing a part-time position at a startup, I think I proved that I have what it takes to be a successful developer. I have learned quite a lot these last couple of months, delving more into coding topics that I would not have normally gotten the time to learn. I have been able to learn more advanced topics in React, create several projects using Ruby on Rails, and even learning some Python and Java. I believe that I have the drive, intellect, and friendly demeanor to be a successful software developer. I hope that one day, I will be able to use my coding for good and create amazing products to help people around the world.
