// My Story
I am currently a software developer who once modeled and thought I wanted to pursue a career in the fashion industry. While I was modeling in Hong Kong, I eventually felt the desire to further my education. I decided to depart the modeling world and move back to Canada, knowing that could be the end of my modeling opportunities. I attended Ryerson University for GCM (Graphic Communications Management), as I thought I might still work in the fashion industry in another capacity. It was in my last year of university, I was introduced to a very basic coding course. I instantly fell in love. From there I knew I wanted to pursue software development but didn't have a clue where to start. I didn't want to go back to university as I just completed a four-year degree. I decided to enroll in a 10-week intensive coding Bootcamp. From there I started working at a small startup learning and growing my technical and soft skills. I then transitioned to a larger company where I am a software developer and technical consultant today.

HI TIFF, Thank you so much for all the amazing sauce and knowledge you share with the E-Com world. I am at the beginning, somewhat of the beginning of my journey anyway.. and I am trying to find some forums, or a community of like-minded people. Do you have any suggestions or know of any I could join? I am launching my Digital Marketing Consulting gig. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the video and ideas. I am a software developer with 20 years of experience. I have been freelancing for about five years. I never got the hang of networking, as my few clients have been through word of mouth. But I would like to find some online communities to diversify my work. I would be interested in a video on online communities for freelancers.

Hi, just started as a freelancer developer in Miami, and I think I just passed the stage where I got lost between "going out and getting clients" and "finding the time to actually code their projects". I guess the key here is to find help when needed. Don't be afraid to ask a fellow developer for a hand when things are too much, especially because it's hard to predict the workload when you're just starting.
@thanhbinhhoang3548 3 ай бұрын
What a cool intro. The bit about building the community is what I have not done so no wonder why I am struggling with getting clients. Have you ever thought to be somebody's mentor in their software development journey?

I want to find a full time position so that I can gain experience first. However, I will take on a freelance project here and there if it will help build out my portfolio to get hired. I prefer a team of people to work with if I get stuck. My question is this: Why did you not put the answer the question at the end of the video as you promised??? Which leads up to the follow up: What is the answer???? I am dying to know!

I have been a successful freelance Ecologist for 12 years but want to get into IT. I am intending to get AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification and complete 100 Days of Code and Boto3 courses on Udemy together with the Cloud Resume Challenge. Will this be enough to start freelancing as a cloud developer? I can make the switch gradually whilst continuing to run my ecology business. Your video made me think there maybe a lot of possible opportunities to provide my IT services within my extensive ecology consultancy network. Thanks for the useful video, much appreciated

Tiff, your videos are very helpful, I have finished my MSC in Computer Science, I have a few ideas for projects including a very good opportunity to make an app for the company I am working for. But I have ideas to build software, and I would like to write my own Software and my own product company, I know I probably should get some experience working for others first, but I have some good ideas & if I don't someone else will, Is it okay to just dive straight in ?
@TiffInTech Жыл бұрын
If you feel comfortable in diving right in then I would say go for it! At the end of the day, I’d you are graduating with fresh skills and ideas, you can always try going out on your own first and then if you do want to work for a company, your experiences building on your own are still so relevant to our in your resume
