My name is jun. I play piano more than 20 years and now I'm new to the tech world. You might ask me why I chose tech? why tech? You can go to my website to read that long story.

But here's a good opportunity for my self-reflection on International Women's Day. And thanks DEV for this amazing activity.

when we understand that gender does not limit anyone in tech. And I hope I can see more women voices to discuss important decisions and more tech leadership opportunity for women.

๐Ÿš€Iโ€™m an expert atโ€ฆ

I'm not gonna say I'm expert at something, instead,

  • Being outside of comfort zone
  • Go through a career transition
  • Background in completely non-related to any engineering kind
  • Not getting interviews for months
  • Imposter syndrome hits me hard that I used to cry
  • Failed tests
  • Less salary now than I used to earn
  • Works have been criticized
  • Still don't know everything

                                     nevertheless, I coded.

Never stop learning and remember that once you're dreamed of being where you are now ๐ŸŒธ
