In this video, I share my honest journey of becoming a software engineer, from working retail to landing my first dev job.

This isn't your typical "I learned to code in 3 months" success story. I share the real challenges, self-doubt, and strategies that helped me push through when things got tough. Whether you're considering a career change or just starting your coding journey, this video offers a realistic look at what it takes to break into tech.
