Recruitment Consultant/Aspiring Frontend Developer, ECOM

​

,,

Remember being yourself is your strength.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I find Frontend Developers from all around the world, to join tech start-ups in Amsterdam.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?

Having a background in business administration, I was always interested in the commercial impact I could have on an organisation, particularly in the field of tech.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"

Relocating to the Netherlands alone and teaching myself how to code.

WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?

I love working in tech because the products can help thousands of people within seconds of production. As long as I am contributing to this phenomenon, I look forward to going to work everyday.

BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?

Remember technology itself is not a difficult industry, it is just one of the most intimidating. And being yourself is your strength.
