Breaking Into Tech: Lessons from My Career Path - JsJ 672

from JavaScript Jabber · host Charles M Wood

This episode is a little different—thanks to a U.S. holiday, I’m flying solo. But that just means we get to have a one-on-one chat!I dive into my career journey—not to brag, but to offer insights for anyone feeling stuck, of how my inventor grandfather sparked my early interest in tech, how I transitioned from electrical engineering to computer engineering, and how I went from IT support to discovering my love for programming while solving real-world problems at Mosey with Ruby on Rails.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support.
