Champion!

May I ask, what was your background prior to moving into coding? A different technical field or trade?

I graduated in Economics. The first ~7 years of my career was at non-profit organizations (as project manager and fundraiser). Then I went to the startup world, one year as a startup founder, two years working with growth marketing at another startup.

But I always had a good mind for logic and analytical stuff, I think it helps a lot.
