For what it's worth, I went to a coding bootcamp in 2012. From there, I found people who were willing to pay me money to do software development as a Freelancer.

I did countless events, I listed my services in local blogs.

This leadup to becoming CTO of a startup. 8 years later here we are.

This was in Chicago.

It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I also did an iOS bootcamp in 2014, mostly because clients kept asking for mobile and I didn't like the hybrid mobile platforms.
