Amber Gooch graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 33.

My first foray into coding began at the age of 13. I spent hours upon hours clumsily picking through code attempting to interpret the lines and lines of abstruse text. The ability to create with this strange new language fascinated me. Years later, during my freshman year of college, I enrolled in my first computer science course. While this course served as my first official introduction to the true magic of coding, my path ultimately led me elsewhere. However, I eventually found my way back to computer programming. Everyday, I rediscover how challenging, yet fun, writing code can be.
