However, I felt as if I was being drawn back to the tech/software industry because the scale at which I can help solve problems is far greater, due to software’s economies of scale. That’s what led me to Lambda School, where I learned Python, databases, and machine learning. One week before completing the curriculum, I was offered a job as a teaching assistant and tutor for data science and web development students from dozens of universities from across the nation. I learned Javascript on-the-job and made a New Year’s Resolution to learn how to write mobile apps. I published two apps of my own on the app store, and then got a job with Finequities.
