I'm currently rocking it as a Lead Developer at a cutting-edge digital agency in the enterprise market. But let me tell you, this exhilarating path to success was anything but ordinary!

I took my baby steps into the world of coding on the legendary Commodore 64 when I could barely read and write. But I never got serious about it until I was quickly heading toward my 40th birthday.

Fast forward to today, and here I am, leading a dynamic team and guiding software developers like you to greatness.

It all started in early 2018 when I landed my first real developer gig at a smaller agency right after retraining. Though I had the passion, I'll admit, I barely knew the ins and outs of OOP, design patterns, and modern software practices. But my determination knew no bounds, and I immersed myself in learning everything I needed to excel at my job and connect with customers, teammates, and superiors alike.

In less than three years, my skills had blossomed, and I found myself accepting a Senior Software Engineer position – a 60% pay raise and a perfect fit for my evolving interests and expertise.

But like any hero's journey, my road to success encountered a formidable obstacle – burnout! It left me sidelined for months. Yet, in the midst of this challenging time, fate had a plan. I connected with my current employer, who saw my potential beyond my health challenges. Hired as a Lead Developer, I again received a significant salary increase, coupled with the flexibility of part-time work.

From that moment on, my supervisors embraced and supported me wholeheartedly, recognizing the value I brought to the table.

Since my early days as a developer, I've harbored a burning desire to uplift and empower my colleagues on their own development journeys. Now, as a Lead Developer and career coach, I'm here to help you shine bright, harness your true potential, and conquer the tech world with confidence.
