teach => tech: Transitioning from Teaching to Technology
Welcome! I’m Faraja, an educator and innovator with an eclectic set of experiences under her belt, who is quickly approaching retirement!
Through this blog, I plan to discuss my journey on the path to becoming a software engineer. Topics will include: my background, my motivation, my custom curriculum, my study methods, and interesting projects that I work on along the way.
I started blogging under my GitHub account, under the name Teacher to Techie, so my first few posts here will be reposts from what I had published there.
I hope that you subscribe and read all about the exciting adventures I encounter during this journey!
