  1. What made you decide to come to Turing?
  • I was fortunate that my roomie work as a software developer, he opened me a door to a new world not just to coding but also a way of living. He is also a musician and he is the first person who has transmitted to me the same passion and love to his programming career. I chose Turing because you have to focus only in one side of the software developer (Front-end or Back-end) even though my goal is become a full-stack developer. I think this ideology and structure that turing has in their programs will be really helpful not only in my career but also in my personal life, because I'm doing a change in life also.
  1. What are you most excited about exploring in your career in tech?
  • Understand the developers language is a key that will open many doors, because is not only programming is a lifestyle and the world that we are living now is full of possibilities in the technology.
