Hi, my name is Edgar and I'm a software engineer.
\nI wasn't always but in 2019, I signed up and completed a full stack development curriculim from Flatiron School. It was the best decision I ever made!
\nI was also very fortunate to be able to accept an offer, within a month of graduation, with a company I was really interested in.
\nThe reason I created this blog is because I want to resume the habits I developed at Flatiron School of writing a monthly blog. I kinda stopped after I graduated but you can check out my Medium for my past blogs.
\nWell, Medium has great content but the experience reading on their site isn't the best. Paywalls suck. If I want to share my content, I don't want it to be behind one.
\nAlso, I want to build a blog from scratch. So I did!
\nLet's start with personal goals, I want to share my knowledge and experiences.
\nKnowledge would consist mostly of coding or design (UI/UX) related things.
\nExperiences would include how I went through the coding bootcamp, how I prepared for my first software engineer interviews, and how my past work experiences help shape my current role as a software engineer.
\nMy secondary goals are for you, the reader. I want to add value to the reason that brought you here, whether it's to learn more about coding bootcamps, whether they're worth it (it is), or whatever else, I want to be able to help!
\nWith that said... hello world!
