Position: Ruby developer

Before I chose the IT field as my new career, I worked for ten years as a journalist in a newspaper and then as a political analyst at the embassy. As a journalist, I've had to work with different people in different environments, which instilled in me the communication skills and work ethic needed to succeed in the developer world. And while working at the embassy, I needed to develop analytical skills, which are so necessary for coding. Thus, both my previous professional careers gave me a set of professional both soft and technical qualities that are necessary for a software engineer.
In November 2021 I was accepted at the Microverse coding school. In the process of learning, I created projects in HTML/CSS/JS and Ruby. I get a great opportunity to program collaboratively in a remote environment every day. I've spent the last several months completely immersed in remote pair-program development, building everything from landing pages to Rails APIs.
