I'm gonna be talking about my journey to tack and software engineering.

So if you're curious, police continue watching.

So now that I have my wine and cheese and I'm in my happy place, I could tell you guys a story of how I got into software engineering and attack and moved to San Francisco.

It all started with me go into university in Canada.

So I went to school in Canada and actually studied chemical engineering.

I didn't study software engineering or computer science.

So the way I got its software engineering was actually quite friend.

My university required in friendships as part of my bachelors degree.

Soon, if you didn't do a certain amount of internships, couldn't graduate.

I did.

Thio princess as a chemical engineer on during the 1st 1 I didn't really care because this is the first job.

I was hot, had a job.

But during the 2nd 1 I really started thinking whether I like what I was doing or not on.

I didn't really enjoyed the work I was doing and didn't really care enough about the concept.

And when stroke you bad.

This is what I could be doing after graduating university for like, a long time.

I just started getting really scared thinking, Okay, this is not what I wanted to, but at the same time, I was really confused because there were so many thoughts in my mind what I could be doing.

I thought finally, management may be business or some kind of other sort of engineering, but I wasn't.

That was set on.

What is that I could be interested in?

Because unless you try, you don't really know.

After doing that internship, I haven't to be a living at a residence on campus that was oriented towards entrepreneurship, and I'll be seeing a lot of entrepreneurial ventures.

There were tech related.

That's the way it is.

Space.

And I was surrounded by a lot of people excited software engineering, computer science.

And I thought startup scene was really cool on technology, was cool and sold so many different problems with that.

And he just seemed so cost efficient to start something out to start an idea.

And I was thinking, Oh, yeah, maybe I should get into the startup scene, but I was never thinking that I would get into but World as a programmer.

Because to be honest, I took programming classes, this part of my chemical engineering curriculum, and I absolutely hated them now, looking back at it and I'm thinking that it's because the problems were sold in with working in that love and like working on some escalation factory and I just didn't really care about.

But then some of those friends, software engineering, computer science, major friends that I had were like, No, you should totally try maybe taking an online course in computer signs and see if you like it or not.

And I was always finding a lot of excuses as to why I wouldn't do it.

But then, at the end of that semester, I was like, Okay, screw, let me just take wept about HTML CSS Super Low barrier and three course.

And some programmers actually don't even consider it.

Melted language was Claire, but anyway, I decided to go on to call Academy and that development force and I completed it on.

And then I was like, Okay, this is actually not as bad as I thought.

It was actually kind of fun.

This is, by the way, one of the best nights, the combination on your love and favor.

But anyway, let's get back to my story.

So I coincidental it again happened to go to Germany more whole year on academic exchange after concluded that semester, the residents and that development it happens to be about the chemical engineering curriculum in Germany was much lighter is at the chemical engineering curriculum in Canada.

So I decided that I should just take a gamble and trying to start a software engineer and really part, and my goal was to got an internship as a software engineer to see whether actually liked it.

I found that it's you might like the forces, but the work that you do real world, my view or most of the times is very different from the academic studies in the university.

So I decided to take a gamble on study, really hard to try to get an internship with a software engineer, and as a result, instead of having fun and traveling all over Europe like I was expected when I was going in exchange, I was just in the library every single day for our studying computers.

finds itself engineering concepts, and I took extra courses on top of my chemical engineering going Woman University took more online forces working a side project with a friend who has two exciting computer signs there building an android app.

And then when the time came, I started studying for I started studying for interviews and I started interviewed.

I had a ton of supporting friends, were doing mock interviews with me.

Just tell me more about the interview prop because it was super different, that crap in for interviews in chemical engineering.

So it was a huge learning for but locked away because I was surrounded by really caring people.

I'm at us to get a softer engineering internship at Yale in San Francisco, and I went on to be an intern on the Emperor, So I ended up doing two internships there on I didn't switch my major.

I continue to complete a chemical engineering major and computer science minor in my last year on my bachelors, but I after yelled, I continue doing more attack internships and basically based on my entrance of experience.

That's how I ended up get in a full time job in software engineer and intact in San Francisco.

So this is essentially my story of how I got here.

That's it.

Please tell me your story of how you got into attack.

I would love to hear you have a great rest of the day.

Bye for now.
