23 Was The Best Year Of My Life…So Far

From finishing Lambda School last October and starting my own marketing and business development right after and going full time to being one year in and busier than ever. This past year has been absolutely bonkers!

In just one year I went from a student trying to become a software engineer with Font Awesome to completely changing my mind and creating my own company to do what I love. It wasn’t easy, in fact, at times I was so stressed I couldn’t sleep. Luckily, I persisted and have been able to put myself in a great spot with my business for 2021.

I’d just turned 23 and had just graduated from Lambda School as a full-stack software engineer. I was supposed to start full time as a software engineer for Font Awesome. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out so I had to find something else.

To be fair, Font Awesome paid for me to go through Lambda School basically in the first place and one of the owners is a close friend of mine. It wasn’t anything personal but they thought they were ready to hire another software developer and it turns out they had some other needs to tackle before that. They did keep me on as a freelancer though.
