My Journey into Software Engineering (thanks neopets)
My Journey into Software Engineering (thanks neopets)
I know, you must be wondering, "What does Neopets have anything to do with your journey into software engineering?" And to that, I answer: everything. My journey into software engineering probably would have never started if it weren't for Neopets! It kickstarted my journey by teaching me the basics of software engineering in a fun and approachable manner.
Afterwards, I went to college and got a few software engineering internships, but the journey was not smooth at all. Watch on to learn more about my experiences and my reflections on the journey.
