Alina's Story My first experience with coding was with Ruby and rails, about 10 years ago, during my tenure in bioinformatics section. At the time, I needed to develop a pipeline for phylogenetic analysis. With minimal guidance, I dove into learning R, relying heavily on API references. It was challenging, but I embraced the process and quickly fell in love with coding. Now, a decade later, I’m reigniting that passion by learning a new programming language: Kotlin. While I’ve been learning from Youtube video, I often find myself stuck and realize now that I need more structured guidance to fully understand the core principles and accelerate my progress. Coding has given me a sense of empowerment and purpose. It’s not just about writing lines of code; for me, it’s about problem-solving, creating solutions, and finding logic in chaos. In a world that often feels overwhelming, coding gives me clarity and control.
My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes stems from a deep desire to empower myself with technical skills that can make a meaningful impact. I am passionate about finding ways to contribute creatively and productively, and coding offers a unique opportunity to solve problems, express ideas, and create solutions that can benefit others.
I have a strong passion for learning new things, such as exploring how to build Android applications. Additionally, I enjoy reading, which allows me to broaden my knowledge and perspectives.
