INTROOODUCIIIIIINNG!!!!

Hello there and welcome to my blog!!

I started this blog in order to help hammer in different things I learn throughout my career as well as help those searching for the same questions I have. My ultimate goal with this blog is the sharing of knowledge and information! 

I am an IT professional. My career has been 6 years long and currently transitioning into the development side of IT. I started in Desktop Support , went to a bootcamp and now have been in the job hunt. Since graduating the bootcamp I’ve been tidying up old projects, updating my skillset through continuous learning, built an AR base solar system, and played with cloud technologies. 

Hopefully this blog will allow me to see just how far I’ve come while helping you all out with answer questions!

Please submit questions and I’d love to answer them. If I cannot answer them I will definitely point you in the right direction. 

Currently nobody may not see this because I have zero followers lol.

After my First 2 Weeks -  Update 003

Hello and welcome back to another segment. 

I completed my first two weeks of work at this new job and it has been amazing! Everyone I’ve met have had nothing but open arms. I really appreciate it. Especially coming from a company where it was varying temperatures depending on who you talked to.

They have me learning Ruby and Ruby on Rails so my goal is to have Intro to Ruby done by the end of the month and then Ruby on Rails done by end of December so that I can go into the new year ready to really make some strides.

I also won the company costume contest lol. I had to come in swinging! I plan to take on ALL the contest. 

It has been such a long road and usually you feel like you can relax and chill.....NAH I feel like I have to keep that pressure up! Keep that foot on the gas type of mentality to make something shake! I’m not going to become a doer.

I will be an achiever at this company! I plan to stay here for a long time. This is the type of company where they value tenure. So as long as there’s room to grow and my career is progressing in a steady way (meaning if I’m not getting promoted at least every 2 years, something isn’t right). That’s the type of timing I’m on.

But of course I have to thank God for this whole opportunity! I mean it was provided while we were in a PANDEMIC! Where it seems that more people are getting laid off and even fewer are being picked up for work! I beat out candidates and took care of everything I had to take care of while TRUSTING God to take care of stuff that I could not! So all praises to the amazing GOD!
