Hey everyone, I’m Zach, and welcome to Zach D Coder! Your go-to place for all things software development and tech.
My journey in software development kicked off at the age of 12. Picture this: building a quiz during computer study lessons using Pascal. Inspired by each lesson’s preview, I’d rush home to teach myself and implement the next topic in our school project.
My passion led me to self-learn PHP online, and I even grabbed a PHP and MySQL book to deepen my knowledge.
After secondary school, I dived into tertiary education with a comprehensive computer diploma covering IT essentials, allowing me to choose my specialization.
During the diploma, I got interested in networking and I decided to start the CCNA Course.
My professional journey began in a local computer shop, where I spent a year in sales before landing a role at one of the big four companies as a junior software developer. Over five years, I evolved into a software support engineer, occasionally implementing new features. Seeking new challenges, I moved to a gaming company as a technical incident engineer, delving deep into the backend stack.
Now, I’m ready to elevate my career and immerse myself in pure software development. That’s why I’m launching this blog —to share my journey, lessons learned, and to keep myself accountable for the next steps in my career.
If you’re passionate about software development or tech, and you’re ready to level up your skills, you’re in the right place. Subscribe to my blog for updates, and join me on this exciting journey. I’m Zach, and let’s code together!
