I was always interested in programming (started programming on my ti-83 calculator in middle school ~2002). Parents both worked at dotcom companies from late 90s to 2000s. Went to college to study finance and went into banking, but always kept an eye out on the technology sector and became more and more interested in startups. Decided to leave after my banking stint to renew my knowledge of programming and be a part of the tech/startup scene! Haven't regretted it ever since :)
