From Mom to Tech Pro: My Journey in Learning, Coding, and Evolving
Introduction
Hello, world! 👋 Juggling motherhood and tech? Me too. I’m a full-time mom, a software engineer by degree, and a passionate learner diving back into the world of coding and data science. This blog is my space to document every win, every struggle, and every lesson learned along the way.
How It All Started
I have a degree in Software Engineering, but life took me on a different route. After a long break from coding, I decided to reignite my passion for tech. However, returning wasn’t easy. I had to relearn the basics, navigate self-doubt, and find ways to stay consistent despite a busy household.
Why Data Science?
I’ve always been fascinated by problem-solving and data-driven decisions, which led me to explore Data Science and Python. Seeing how companies predict customer behavior using data blew my mind! I realized that data science isn't just about numbers—it's about telling stories with data..
The Challenges I Face
Being a self-taught learner comes with its challenges:
Some days, I’m debugging code while making lunch. Other days, imposter syndrome hits hard. But I remind myself: progress, no matter how slow, is still progress.
Despite these, I remind myself that progress is progress—no matter how small.
My Learning Plan & Goals
Here’s how I’m approaching my learning journey: ✅ Implementing Data Structures & Algorithms through coding.
✅ Building projects to solidify concepts.
✅ Writing blogs to reinforce my understanding.
✅ Sharing my journey on LinkedIn, GitHub.
Why I’m Writing This Blog
I believe in the power of community and shared learning. If my journey can inspire even one person to start coding or push through a tough day, that’s a win. I want to:
Motivate other self-learners & moms who are struggling with similar challenges.
Document my progress so I can look back and see how far I’ve come.
Share coding insights and things I wish I had known earlier.
What’s Next?
I’ll be writing about: 📌 My experience learning Data Structures & Algorithms.
📌 Projects & problem-solving techniques I use.
📌 Tips for balancing learning with daily life.
📌 Career-related insights and how I plan to land a job.
