From Farmer to Hired Software Engineer: My Journey and How You Can Help

Hi there, my name is Marcia, and I'm a software engineer who started my journey as a farmer and agronomist. In under 5 months, I was able to transition into a hired software engineer without a degree, and I owe a lot of my success to the power of the internet. I'm here on Hashnode to share my story and to ask for your support.

My Journey: After working in agriculture for many years, I realized that I wanted a career change. I've always had a passion for technology, and I decided to explore the world of software engineering. Without a degree or a formal education in computer science, I knew that I had a lot to learn.

That's when I turned to the internet. I enrolled in online courses, watched tutorials, and joined online communities. I learned from experienced developers, built projects, and worked on my skills every day.

Eventually, my hard work paid off. I landed my first job as a software engineer, and I've been working in the industry ever since. But my journey doesn't stop there. I'm always learning, always improving, and always looking for new opportunities.

Why I Need Your Support: I'm a self-taught software engineer who started out as a farmer/agronomist, but quickly realized my passion for coding. Within just 5 months, I went from zero coding experience to being hired as a full-time software engineer.

I know how daunting it can be to start from scratch in the tech industry, especially if you're from a non-technical background. That's why I'm committed to helping others who are just starting out on their coding journey. I want to create free content that will help new coders, especially those in rural areas where access to high-speed internet isn't always available.

By sponsoring me, you'll be supporting my efforts to create educational content that will make a difference in people's lives. You'll be helping me to reach a wider audience and make a positive impact on the tech community.

Thank you for considering sponsoring me, and for your support in helping me to achieve my goals.
