Tell us about your journey throughout your CS career.

I'm a software engineer in Canada with about 1 YOE that specializes in full-stack web development. Initially got started with MS Batch, then Python, then TS and Go. One of my goals is to master Rust this summer :)

I got my CS degree over 20 years ago. Originally learned some C++ and Java, though I didn't like either. Taught myself Perl, Python, PHP, C#, a little bit of a bunch of other languages (F#, JS/TS, and more), and most recently, Rust.

When I started my career, it was doing some customer support work before moving into large-scale distributed compute, then into FAANG where I've been for over a decade.
