Front End Developer

IBM

I am a self-taught front-end developer, and I’ve been in front-end development for several years now. However, front-end development was not my first career choice – I have a master’s degree in Economics, and for some time I was pursuing a career in finance when I realised that that is not a path I want to pursue. Then I decided to shift my career from economics to the IT sector, I initially started with software quality assurance testing. Soon after it became obvious to me that I would like to write code for the applications I was writing tests for. So, I looked into the software development paths and took on the front-end development where I currently work.
