Alex Nielsen

Hello people. My name is Alex Nielsen and I've signed up for the Get A Job Challenge. I'm a self-taught coder who has been at this for a few years. Homeschooling our kids (since before Covid) and working make it tough to squeeze in time to learn. The truth is I'm pretty sure I've had the skills to get a junior dev job for quite a while but the imposter syndrome I have is deblitating at times. I signed up to hopefully give me a little more direction rather than randomly applying to jobs when I work up enough nerve. I'm in the suburbs of New York City, the last bus stop on the commuter line in a part of New Jersey that is not what you usually see on TV. There are people with chickens on my street and with a 10 minute drive I can see cows. Anyway, I hope this will give me the push I need to get focued and get over my fears and put my skills to work.
