My Journey To Tech:
TLDR: My journey to tech was a winding road. I first did mechanical engineering and ran my own small businesses. Then, a medical diagnosis prompted me to change careers; Software Engineering has been a great fit for my health and my interests, and I'm excited to do this long-term.
