Monica is a junior Scala developer at JP Morgan, working in a team who aims to improve understanding of the banks’ data and data models.She began her programming journey using C#, then onto a mixture C++, JavaScript and TypeScript throughout her undergraduate Physics degree. She now writes Scala full time at her current position. Monica is also passionate about encouraging those who do not have a Computer Science background into software development roles, as she has been able to apply her transferable problem-solving skills from a scientific discipline to programming and is really enjoying it!
In this talk, I will cover three key concepts that emerged from reflecting on this past year of learning: making mistakes, helping others to help you and finding community.
