Sina Akther,

Welcome! I'm Sina from Cleveland, Ohio.
What do you get when you have a counselor transition into software development?

I'm not sure if there's a punchline to that... but the truth to it is that you get someone like me! 😄 I have worked as a mental health therapist since 2018, and working to transition into the vast world of software and technology. I feel technology has always followed me around (not literally!) - growing up in the US from Bangladesh, I was lucky to have been immersed in the digital world, however, my parents needed a lot of catching up. Teaching them gave me a boost to be able to explore tech on my own time. Even though I went the route of mental health therapy initially, I still found myself teaching people ways to customize their programs, or how to check errors or issues they were facing. I was always the "tech girl." I told them, "I'd love to officially be that one day!" And after someone asked, "Well... why don't you just become one?" - my mind was just blown.🤯 And thus began my journey to software developer!

Check out my stack, projects, and say hello when you have the chance.

I'd love to connect!
