Juggling Motherhood While Becoming a Web Developer

With six years of university experience in her luggage, a child, the move to another country and a career in music, Frida discovered tech and decided to change her career in the midst of life. 

The way into coding - through Myspace

"My background spans six years of university studies, alongside experiences in teaching and marketing. Additionally, I dabbled in songwriting and the music industry. While music was my passion, juggling motherhood made it challenging to immerse myself fully. I delved into coding to enhance my Myspace page and later, while creating my own WordPress sites. Google became my go-to resource, earning me the title of 'Google Master'."

Why Technigo’s Bootcamp was the right fit

"Coding, like music, envelops me in a world where time flies. Transitioning to Norway from Sweden made me explore career options aligned with my interests, leading me to Technigo. Despite being in my forties, I was ready for the challenge, seeking a fast-paced learning environment. The program's interactive format and vibrant community instantly appealed to me. I tried the small tests on Technigo and really liked the format. Tech can look boring, but Technigo looked and felt fun! With a kid I needed flexibility and the possibilities to work from home. I like to nerd into things and found that within tech."

While I can't rely only on Google anymore, I'm applying the problem-solving mindset we were given during the boot camp. Every day presents new challenges and opportunities for growth."
