About Me

Hi there, my name is Jesse and I am a self-taught software developer from Vancouver BC, Canada. Eight months ago before I began this journey I had never written a single line of code in my life. Previously, I began pursuing a career change after becoming disappointed with the career prospects in my normal day job in the healthcare field. During my search, I stumbled across an article that explained how almost anyone can teach themselves how to code, even without a fancy CS or math degree. While working my normal day job 40+ hours a week, I started to learn javascript from resources such as FreeCodeCamp, Udemy, Youtube and Scrimba in the little free time that I had. Since then, I have developed a serious passion for software development and every day I dedicate myself to grow my knowledge and become better at it.
