Matisse Mallette

I started programming video games in middle school with Java and eventually C++. What started merely as a hobby eventually grew into a deep curiosity for software and how it was made. The idea of building something and seeing it be used in a meaningful way by others is what drove me to pursue this career path.

I was thrilled to learn about the Turing bootcamp from a friend who had great success in the program. They were aware of my interest technology, and encouraged me to attend, saying it was the perfect place to hone my programming skills and kickstart my career in web development.

During the program, I was exposed to a wide range of coding languages and had to familiarize myself with a number of new technologies as well as an entirely new framework. It has been a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience to see my coding skills improve and to develop a deeper understanding of how to build user-friendly, functional websites.

I particularly enjoyed the collaborative nature of the program. Working alongside my peers to solve complex problems and build effective solutions is incredibly rewarding. I am excited to continue learning and growing as a developer and look forward to exploring new technologies and ways to make a positive impact through my work.
