Samuel Birky graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 33.

Before becoming a software programmer, I was working in sales for a luxury tour operator. I often strategized best system practices for my department. I began to see a parallel between making a better user experience in my workplace and the work that developers were doing on a day-to-day basis. From there, the idea of being a part of the industry consumed me, and after some time I had no choice but to embark on this new journey. Software programming enables me to look at problems from a different perspective every day. I enjoy the planning process and seeing a solution to a challenge come to life.
