With a Bachler's degree in Interdisciplinary Computing Arts - Music, I learned how to use computer to create art. While I stayed on the technical side of things, I was reluctant to dive into programming because I didn't have a good experience with learning Java.
10 years later, with the encouragement of friends and family, I am now overcoming my fear of failure and am going for a career change to be a software engineer. Wish me luck!
