Three years ago, I, a 32-year-old woman at the time, started learning HTML, CSS and JS on my own.
Now I've been in my job as a front-end developer and accessibility specialist for 2 years and became a GDE (Google Developer Expert).
Consistency and curiosity made it possible.

I started programming at 32, looked for a job after 9 months (July 2021), sent 7 applications, had 4 interviews, 1 second round (no job offer), and 1 job offer.🥳
Now I want to focus on helping you make it as a developer too by sharing my experience. ♥️

Yesterday I developed my very first calculator using JS.
This is just the beginning - I should have done this a year ago. I made the mistake of jumping straight into React after HTML/CSS without touching JS. I often miss basics that I am now catching up. It's never too late. 🫡

This week I turned down a job offer.
A year ago I would have done anything to get this job, but due Corona it was not possible.
My area of expertise has changed. I now deal with accessibility and can't let it go for a front end job where accessibility doesn't matter.

During Hacktoberfest, I contributed e.g. to the FreeCodeCamp developer quiz. While doing so, I had the idea to add a section with accessibility questions, but Quincy had to approve it first.

I may be a good fit for your company, BUT....
if your company doesn't value accessibility, it's definitely not a good fit for me.

As a soon-to-be junior dev, we tend to focus solely on our coding skills bc we believe that's what recruiters are looking for.

Nobody is perfect, but you are likely to be trusted more if you are self-aware and can admit your mistakes. Use these to show progress and improvements rather than copying the best version of your code on the first try.
