challenge of solving problems and creating things that can make a real difference. My background in banking taught me how to think analytically and stay calm under pressure, while my time in education and community service showed me the importance of connecting with people and working together to tackle challenges. Over time, I realized I wanted a career that combined those skills with my passion for tech and creativity, which led me to Northcoders – an intensive full-time coding bootcamp focused on full-stack JavaScript development, where I trained from January to April 2025. Now, I’m excited to contribute and grow as a Junior Software Engineer.
