Started self-learning Programming

Stuck in the house during a blizzard, I decided to look up programming tutorials to pass the time. Little did I know at the time - this would mark the beginning of my long journey into the world of computer science.

Graduated Rice University

I graduated Rice University with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering! Somewhere between that winter of 2016 and graduation, I realized that my passion was in computer science. But that realization didn't come in time for me to switch degrees.

Technical EngineerEpic Systems

After graduation, I looked for a job in the software industry. This led me to snowy Verona where I worked in healthcare software as a Technical Solutions Engineer for over two years.

Misc


These three websites below were crucial in my journey to learn programming. If you're looking for a place to start, I can't recommend them enough! Javascript is one of easier languages to pick up, and you can build websites by learning it alongside HTML and CSS.

freeCodeCamp

Starts with a series of HTML, CSS, and Javascript tutorials. Afterwards sets you loose with interesting projects and algorithm challenges.

Coursera

Strongly recommend the Rice University "Fundamentals of Computing" series. Taught in Python.

Udemy

Contains a plethora of quality courses. Get them during sales for $10.

Here is also a series of helpful resources that will complement your learning.
