Part 2/10:
Justin's pathway into tech is not typical. He started off studying economics and statistics, believing they were practical fields. However, a project management internship with a smart bicycle company didn't resonate with him due to the hands-on management it required. Disillusioned, he traveled the world and returned to work for gig economy platforms such as Postmates and Uber. This experience rekindled his desire to work hands-on with technology, leading him to discover coding and, eventually, the vibrant community at Codesmith, where he honed his skills and developed a passion for software engineering.
