Lilla

Lilla grew up in Hungary and studied for a master's degree in Chemical Engineering! ⚗️ She lived in the UK and Germany before settling in Switzerland! 🏔️ Lilla is big on sports - including CrossFit, swimming, running, and yoga! She also likes to take part in hackathons! 👩‍💻

Lilla had been working as a Process Engineer in the pharmaceutical, medical and biotechnology industries. She spent her career working in research & development, manufacturing, and engineering.

Lilla had been looking to develop her web development skills from a beginner level. She tried out a lot of courses and discovered SheCodes through our 60-minute free class! 
 

Like many SheCodes students, Lilla just wanted to try her hand at coding for fun. 🎉

"I enjoyed the problem-solving and creativity I could use for small coding projects...then when I did my first project with Matt, I realized the power and creativity and wide range of opportunities in web development, and I wanted to deepen my knowledge."

Lilla enjoyed the bite-sized lessons, coding challenges and flexible schedule of SheCodes. She found herself making progress every week! 📈
 

"The projects are super interesting; they provide a lot of freedom for creativity and an excellent example of real problems...But what helped me the most was the support I got throughout my learning journey! Most importantly, the support I needed to believe I could learn this. The learning platform and the information helped me to feel confident and safe. And that is so important for learning!"

The support of the SheCodes community of fellow learners on Slack also helped to keep Lilla motivated - you can get in touch with any other students who are learning with you at the same time, ask for help and share solutions. 🤗

Lilla accomplished something quite special as a SheCodes student - she was one of the first graduates of the SheCodes Max course of workshops! This means she created eight sophisticated projects for her portfolio. Well done Lilla! 🙏

"Matt taught me how to code and think like a programmer: how to break down complex problems into smaller steps, how to use analytical thinking to solve problems, and, most importantly, how to use these skills in real life."

Lilla enjoyed SheCodes so much that it inspired her to switch careers. Coding had originally been her hobby - and now it became her profession!

"I did an internship as a software engineer at a company that designs and develops websites and apps. A few months ago, I got my first-ever job as a Front End Engineer, and now I am working on the front-end side of different applications for small businesses."

Congratulations Lilla! 👏

Lilla says that curiosity and connection were her two superpowers while studying with SheCodes! 🦹‍♀️

"Curiosity made learning so much fun: try out different things, and play with your projects even (or especially) when they are not perfect! Embrace the error messages! And connect with others! Many other women are struggling with the same issues as you or are ready to help you. Either way, you are not alone!"

“The course material is beneficial and contains tips and small things one can't forget. I love to learn with Matt! He can make even a boring theme enjoyable, like resume writing.

Lilla's SheCodes Workshops Testimonial

“It is a great collection of everything needed for web development. The material covers everything from the basics to the tricks to the newest trends. And the things we learn can be put into practice, which is really useful. The projects are good real-life examples (and so much fun to build them!) and can be represented in a portfolio. This is one of the most useful and interesting courses I have ever taken!”
