// Career pivot · 2021 — 2023
After several years in the trades, I decided to pursue software. I taught myself the fundamentals through documentation, online resources, and personal projects — building, breaking, and rebuilding until things worked. That work led to a professional developer role at Decidio, where I've been able to apply what I learned to real production software.
