This summarizes my professional experience. I spent two years in finance and accounting before completing a coding bootcamp to pursue my passion, technology. I came from a financial reporting background with experience in SQL and Tableau. I am grateful to have been given an opportunity to use my database knowledge in a more full-stack environment.
