Why I code

I started learning how to code after getting opportunities to engage in a few DevOps projects as an Operational stakeholder in my previous occupation. I was intrigued at how software engineers could build out different applications to help address a business need or drive improvement on an exisiting processes. I also enjoy the problem sovling and researching part of coding as you work to build out a certain feature in a project.
