Career Narrative
Before Atlas School (formerly School), I was an entry level civil engineer with 6-year experience in different companies, until the COVID-19 pandemic affected the market and caused the layoff on me.
Seeing the market tide change and people's needs over technology, I found it necessary to extend my skill set and look for a new career path that I would be passionate about, to help people with and improve myself.
And then I chose programming engineering. I found Atlas School; it is a good opportunity, especially the specialization Low-level and Algorithm. I am excited to use the new knowledge I learned in this school to design something workable, also I can use my old strengths like math and logical skills to help the learning. I am open to web, software and/or game developments, and I am looking forward to joining the tech world after my graduation, to help people and provide exciting things to the world with the art of coding.
