I’m a self-taught developer who built my path through unpaid freelance work, taking on more than my title required, leaving a high-paying job right out of college, and making a $100,000 bet on myself.
It paid off. I became the face of my master’s program, traveled to multiple cities to mentor at hackathons, and was approached by several startups to join as a founding hire. Those moments confirmed why I took the risk.
Now, I’m preparing to leave behind what I’ve built and take an even bigger leap. More on that soon.
