For years I was  living paycheck to paycheck 💰 while dreaming of the life-style that would allow me to own a house, travel and give back to the community. When I discovered programming, my life changed. I went from working full-time to ➡️ 🔸Negotiating to work part-time 🔸Taking classes at San Jose City College. 🔸 Attending appacademyio bootcamp prep.
