After attending an intro to coding course 3 years ago I felt as though I had finally found my passion and haven’t looked back since, going on to undertake training to become a developer and currently working as a developer for past 3 years. For me working as a developer doesn't feel like work as I find it very enjoyable, constantly learning and evolving is one of the best parts of the job.
