My Joruney
I am Ricky, a software engineer.
I graduated with a B.S in Applied Math in 2019. I became a business analyst for 2+ years where I performed a lot of business analysis and learned a lot of problem solving and communication skills .
During my educational journey, I had the opportunity to explore various academic disciplines, including computer science.
I enrolled in introductory programming classes where I delved into the fundamentals of languages like Java. These classes were more than just academic pursuits.
They were windows into a world of creative problem-solving and limitless innovation.
The moment when my interest in programming truly ignited can be traced back to a specific experience.
I had discovered a new language—a language of logic and creativity that
allowed me to express my ideas in a way I had never before imagined.
My commitment to long-term goals led me to quit my analyst job and enroll in an immersive coding bootcamp, a decision that would test the limits of my determination and resilience.
I am now a Software Engineer expertised in web development, bringing a wealth of experience and proficiency in JavaScript and Python.
