Iā€™m Farhana Mustafa ā€” Software Engineer for Intuit. Ask Me Anything!

Hi CodeNewbie Community!

I'm Farhana Mustafa ā€” Software Engineer working on iOS development for Intuit.

@saron and I chatted about the challenges and silver linings of technical interviews on this week's episode of the CodeNewbie Podcast.

We specifically talked about how you can actually learn a great deal from failing technical interviews...

One on one training is a personalized approach to learning that allows for focused attention on the individual. During these sessions, the trainer can assess the trainee's skills, strengths, and weaknesses, and tailor the training accordingly. Additionally, one on one training can lead to faster and more efficient progress, as well as greater confidence in the trainee's abilities. One on one training can be particularly effective for those who are new to a skill or subject area, as it provides an opportunity to ask questions and receive immediate feedback.

Thanks for doing this AMA, @fmustafa17 !

In the show, you mentioned that what initially appealed to you about programming was the rumor that it requires a lot of math skills (and that you love math). What would you tell folks that are interested in a CS career based on their love of math? Is that a good enough reason to pursue programming?

Thanks for the question Gracie!

I would say if the person likes to problem solve things like a mathematical equation or a puzzle, then CS is definitely worth looking into. Especially the job market right now is very in demand for people who have CS skills.

I feel a passion for math is a great parallel for having a passion for CS due to the analytical thinking and problem solving.

Have you ever considered branching off into other ecosystems outside of iOS? If so, which?

That's a tough question Ben, iOS has pretty much captivated me at the moment šŸ˜‚
I have been looking into native Android development actually. I find it helpful to learn the advantages that android developers have over iOS dev and vice versa. I believe learning both iOS and Android will make me a stronger, overall mobile engineer where my skillset can be both unique and in demand.
