Hi everyone. I am really happy to be posting here. It has been a long time.
I thought I would give you an update on my life. I graduated college in 2012, and I started working as a software engineer in 2012 or 2013. (At first, it was hard to get a job, but then I got my foot in the door, and I learned a lot about applying for jobs, making a resume, writing a cover letter, et cetera.)
I have been working as a software engineer since 2012 or 2013. I have worked for four different employers. I've been fortunate in that I have always had good managers. I really like the teams I have worked with, the managers I have worked with, and the projects I have worked on.
In all of my jobs, I have done either back-end development or full-stack development. I have mainly worked with Java and Python. In the full-stack jobs, I also worked with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. In a couple of jobs I worked with AWS Cloud, and got to learn more about cloud computing.
So I thought I would tell you a bit about my career as a software engineer.
I can trace my roots as a software engineer back to these forums :)
I can also trace my roots as a software engineer back to computer camp, which I attended in high school.
Software engineering is such a fancy phrase, that sometimes I just say I'm a computer programmer.
I learned a lot of valuable lessons on these forums, in programming, and also in life.
I'm so happy I joined this clan back in high school. I'm proud of everyone I met on these forums.
Best wishes,
Ender (aka Andrew)
