About the Author
I learned to code with 14 and worked on creating my video games with C++ until I got my first programming job right after turning 18. I've always had an entrepreneurial mindset, so I've always done side jobs, mostly freelancing.
I have enjoyed working with all company sizes throughout the years, from helping startups build their first prototypes to working for Fortune 500 companies.
In 2020 I founded "goto LCS UG", a company dedicated to helping people learn to code and make money from that profession. We have successfully run Live Code Stream, a website and blog with dedicated content for developers and entrepreneurs. Through the same spirit, we run workshops helping people transition from their full-time jobs to successful freelance coders.
