About Fatemah Najafali

When I C myself, I C, Curiosity and Coding. Through my childhood, I have always been intrigued by computers. I would spend hours investigating the logic of the operating system and other common software like Microsoft Office. Moreover, through my peaks of curiosity I accidentally formatted my computer in attempts to configure my Wi-Fi. Struggling with career choices in my later years of high school, I could not relate to my peers as they chose majors that were of no interest to me. Prior to enrolling into a university, I took a gap year to explore my options which opened my professional journey with computers. Shadowing at Simply Computers, I was able to understand computers as a body of systems. I carried forward my passion and enrolled into a university here in the US. I gave it a shot and took an “Introduction to Programming” class and there it was, the world of coding – I was sold! Thereafter, I took advantage to learn new languages, technologies, algorithms, compilers, literally everything I was looking for with the same fascination that drove me as a kid. Today, I am looking to use the same passion as a motivating factor to self-learn and sharpen my skills as a full-time coder.
