>Did you do unpaid work to establish yourself? Nope, but I did work for pennies. $11.50/hr writing code at my first job, and then later $1000 for an Android app with another $500 to port it to IOs.
>Roughly how long did it take you from day 1 of learning to day 1 of being paid? Six months.
>What was your first gig? Working on campus making Salesforce magic happen. I graduated recently and now work as a Salesforce/Java/web-backend developer.

Ex .mil graduating with a degree in Economics. One year's development experience dealing mainly with Java. I'd prefer to do something mobile or web front-end related. Currently picking up Objective-C, and JS. Fluent in Dutch/Flemish.
I have an Android project in "the second 90%" that you can check out here, excuse the mess while I refactor some stuff. https://github.com/Brabon/MACSv1.0
