Software Engineer: My Journey from Restaurant Grind to Tech
From working grueling hours as a line cook to managing a bustling restaurant, I knew I needed a change. The stress and instability led me to pursue a career in software engineering, where I could leverage my problem-solving skills and create a more fulfilling life. After earning my computer science degree, I faced the harsh reality of a competitive job market. Determined, I joined Revature, a coding bootcamp that accelerated my learning and gave me hands-on experience with technologies like Spring, Angular, Hibernate, and web services.
Thanks to the bootcamp, I landed my first software engineering role in Michigan, marking the start of a life-changing career. The journey wasn’t easy, but it led to more time with my daughter, a new perspective on problem-solving, and the opportunity to teach others the skills I’d gained. From line cook to software engineer, my path has been a testament to the power of persistence, learning, and transformation.
