From Law to Logic
Transitioning from a career in law and welfare rights to a future in tech.
I am leveraging my research skills, ability to interpret complex information, analytical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, to pursue a new career in tech, one line of code at a time.
Follow me as I document my learning journey, share my experiences, and showcase my projects.
About me
Hi, I'm Carlos, a London-based aspiring frontend developer. My path to becoming a developer has been anything but conventional. For the past six years, I have worked as a Welfare Rights Adviser, using my law degree to analyse complex situations and advocate for those in need. This role has taught me the importance of meticulous problem-solving and clear communication, skills that I am now channelling into the world of technology.
My decision to transition into tech was driven by a desire for continuous learning and growth, as well as a passion for creating and building. I am excited to apply my existing skills in a new context and am committed to developing the technical expertise required to succeed in this dynamic field.
My learning journey
Currently, I am on a structured and intensive journey to become a proficient frontend developer. My learning is guided by a comprehensive plan, kindly drafted by my brother-in-law, friend, and mentor, where the goal is not just acquiring knowledge but practical, real-world skills.
My approach
- Project-Based Learning: Learning by doing. Every new technology I learn is immediately applied to a project that becomes part of my portfolio.
- Focus on Professional Practices: Enhancing and putting into practice the core skills of a professional developer: communication, problem-solving, and collaboration.
- Learning in the Open: My goal is to document my learning journey publicly. Follow my progress as I move from the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into advanced frameworks and technologies like TypeScript and React.
