In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with Luis Gonzalez about how he went from learning iOS Development on his own for about 2 years to landing his first job. I loved his story because it really speaks to the power of networking. Be sure to stick around for when Luis tells the story about driving 4+ hours from Fresno, CA to attend coffee meetups which eventually led to his first job. 

Origin Stories is a series of interviews with iOS developers from the community where we discuss how they got their start in this industry. We discuss how they first became interested in code, what resources they used to learn, how they got their first job and much more.

"What I'm Working On" is a weekly show where I give a quick recap of what I worked on at my day job as an iOS developer at a small startup in Silicon Valley. I hope this give some insight into what it's like to work for a small startup as the sole iOS developer. 

In this episode I talk about getting Aluna's new Jr. iOS Developer, Chris, all setup as well as some details around the bug fixing and polish I've been doing to the app. Specifically around the onboard flow.

If this is your first What I'm Working On episode, be sure to check out the introduction episode for context as to what the Aluna app does.

Back in January of 2019 I put out a video (link below) asking people who had never had an iOS Developer job to apply for a new position at the startup I'm work at, Aluna. When I started my career someone took a chance on me when I wasn't quite ready, and it launched my career. I wanted to do the same for someone else. 

That someone is Chris and we sit down and recap his first week on the job as a Jr. iOS Developer.  Check back next week for Episode 2!
