If you're wondering if it's possible to become a software engineer with an unconventional background, then Zubin Pratap's story will be enlightening. At 39 years old and after spending 15 years as a lawyer, Zubin decided to learn to code. He then joined a small start-up as a software developer before becoming a software engineer at Google, where he worked for 2 years. A year ago, he left Google and started working in the crypto space at Chainlink Labs as a software engineer and developer relations engineer.
