100 Days of Code: 81-90
My 7-year career journey has taken me from pharmacy to biostatistics and data science, and then to web development. Starting on the front-end side, I built multiple websites, application UIs, and analytics dashboards custom-made for pharmaceutical companies. Now, I'm finding my niche in the back-end side thanks to the elegantly simple Go language, which I used to build Gopen, a CLI that helps me quickly open projects from a terminal, along with some REST APIs and full-stack applications. I love tinkering with software, I write about it in my personal blog, and I'm always looking forward to a new challenge or problem to solve.
Summary
