"I'm a Software Engineer II at Amazon Web Services, where I focus on building and improving internal systems. My path into tech wasn't the usual one. I didn't study computer science at university-instead, I worked for several years before enrolling in Hack Reactor, a coding bootcamp in San Francisco. I finished top of my class, taught there for a bit, and then joined AWS. I was promoted to my current role within a year, one of the fastest promotions in the organization."
