My name is Mike from the US and I am aspiring to become a software engineer. My main stack is the Microsoft Stack (C#). I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Software Engineering in 2017 and have been watching Eli for well over 10+ years.
I have been with my company now for 7 years and in those 7 years I was stuck in a position where I couldn’t leave. I was finally able to move into a systems analyst position about 2 months ago where I manage our operations systems and databases.
I’m looking deepen my understanding of programming, systems, and other programming languages so that I can land that engineering job. We all know the market has been tough and with “vibe coders” it’s going to be tougher. But I’m hoping that I get the chance to use my skills because I really do enjoy programming. I like knowing how things work and are built and I think software engineering gives me that.
Look forward to more from Eli and if I’m ever in the Asheville area, I hope to attend on of your meetups!
