Starting in IT
I started in IT at a local school in my small town in December 2024. It was my first job out of college after earning my B.S. in Cybersecurity.
None of the infrastructure was updated. Everything was failing, and luckily, I had one other IT person there: my director. I honestly think he knew less than I did, and he would get frustrated at almost every ticket.
Even then, I knew I wanted a role where I could code.
Fast forward to more recently, he had a freak out and quit. Now we have a two-person team, and everything is finally up to date and functioning. Even with things improving, I still knew I wanted to move toward a SWE-type role.
