Hi - I'm Sonja. I'm a full stack developer after having graduated from Flatiron School in Nov. I took a month or so off and am now focusing on my job search.

I'm determined to become a blockchain developer so in this challenge I am going to learn Solidity and learn about other DLT languages, as well as the blockchain ecosystem so that I have a really solid understanding of the platforms, and all the various players in the space. Especially as it relates to financial services, where I worked for before diving into code. I'm excited that my first career could launch me into my second in a really impactful way!

One of my all time favorite quotes is by Merlin, from "The Once and Future King":

"The best thing for being sad, is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then -- to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you."

Excited to get started and get to know all of you!
