My Route to Studying Full Stack Web Development

My path to learning software development hasn’t been traditional. When I begin college, I had little idea what I wanted to do after graduation, but I knew I loved math, science, and building things, so I decided to study mechanical engineering. I enjoyed the mechanical engineering curriculum and ended up landing a job with Shell after graduation, working on creating drilling programs for Shell’s acreage in the Vaca Muerta shale in Argentina.
