HOW THIS ENGINEER WAS ASSEMBLED
Not a straight line from a computer-science degree. Each layer below carries load in the final build — select a part to open its detail.
BSc Political Science
Three years of studying how institutions and people actually make decisions: analysing complex systems, doing research and writing it down clearly. It's why I'm at ease with stakeholders and requirements, and why I write decisions down.
NOTE: part 2 is load-bearing.
Minor Programming
Halfway through political science I took a full semester of programming, and found what I wanted to do every day. It's where I learned to think in algorithms and trade-offs, and to learn a language by shipping something with it.

Harvard CS50
Harvard's introduction to computer science: C and memory, algorithms and data structures, then Python, SQL and the web. My problem sets are on GitHub.

The next part going on: Kubernetes, for building and running applications the way the teams I want to join do.
