App Academy

Joining App Academy in August 2022, I was thrown into a world of learning. Sure, the technical skills were a big part of the program - Ruby, JavaScript, Rails, React - but what really stuck with me was learning to navigate the unknown. Each week brought a new set of challenges and a fresh reminder that there’s always more to learn. This wasn’t a comfortable process; it was often frustrating and overwhelming. But, through this, I learned to embrace the discomfort of not knowing, to break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable tasks, and to keep pushing forward, even when the solution wasn’t immediately clear.

The bootcamp’s pace was relentless, a constant cycle of learning, applying, and adapting. Working on projects, both solo and in teams, forced me to not only get my hands dirty with code but also to hone soft skills like communication, teamwork, and time management. By the end of those 16 weeks, I had not only expanded my technical toolkit but also developed a resilience and a mindset geared towards continuous learning and adaptation.

I can't thank Peter and the other staff at App Academy enough
