Agnes Beviz: Portfolio

I’m taking a “lift as you learn” approach on my road to learning to code, and am sharing my experience along the way.

Hearing others talk about their experiences career switching to software development has helped me, and I’m open to opportunities to talk about my learning & pass on any tips I have at this stage! Talks & podcasts so far:
