π¨βπ»Coding
I've been coding as a hobby since my mother brought home a second-hand VIC-20 from a garage sale when I was six years old.
Even though I've written lots of code in a work-context, made desktop apps, command line tools, conducted data analysis in SQL, Python, and R, written app extensions in Type Script, HTML and more, I've never been employed or compensated specifically as a professional programmer.
I've been on a journey to become a programmer, rather than just a hobbyist coder, and have launched several apps, contributed to open source projects, and finished many projects which you can see on my GitHub.
