Who Are You? Why Are You Here? What's Next?
I attended University of Colorado at Boulder, originally in the Engineering school because I was good at math and preferred writing equations to writing papers. After just one semester though, I learned that was not for me, and switched to the school of Archiecture and Urban Design. It was the architecture school that showed me my love for design, but it was the TAM program I took for my minor that showed me a love for programming. TAM stands for Technology Arts & Media, and was an intro course to HTML and CSS. We designed basic layouts in Adobe Creative Suite, and built them in our text editor, which at the time was Sublime. When Architecture wasn't really doing it for me, coding was checking all the boxes. I knew before I had graduated that this was the career path I wanted to follow.
Shortly after graduation I began applying for jobs in the technical field, believing I was passionate enough about the material that I would learn what I needed, after I got the job.
