How SheCodes Max helped Lilla to transform her career

πŸ™β€β™€οΈ Before SheCodes

Lilla grew up in Hungary and studied for a master's degree in Chemical Engineering! βš—οΈ She lived in the UK and Germany before settling in Switzerland! πŸ”οΈ Lilla is big on sports - including CrossFit, swimming, running, and yoga! She also likes to take part in hackathons! πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»

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!Β 
Β 
"I loved the free class so much! So I signed up for the first course without hesitation. At that point, I did it for fun; I wasn't even thinking of changing careers. However, I enjoyed the project works so much that I signed up for the full courses."

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Her SheCodes Experience

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

"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! πŸ“ˆ
Β 
"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. πŸ€—

πŸ™‹ How SheCodes has Helped to Change Her Life

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! πŸ™

"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! πŸ‘

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’Ό Advice to Future SheCodes Student

Lilla says that curiosity and connection were her two superpowers while studying with SheCodes! πŸ¦Ήβ€β™€οΈ

"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!"

Lilla's SheCodes Basics Testimonial
β€œEasy to follow and short videos, very engaging content and interesting projects to work on.”

Lilla's SheCodes Basics Add-On Testimonial
β€œThere is nothing more important than the basics! I was happy to learn about these topics with Matt, and I enjoyed the exercises. In addition, I found the resources and links super valuable for each lesson.”
Β 
Lilla's SheCodes Plus Testimonial
β€œVery engaging content and easy instructions to follow even with more complex topics, it is very well explained. It gives a "real-life" coding experience. The final project to work on is a great example with a lot of possibilities and challenges to try and learn. I really enjoyed this course, I gained a lot of practical experience and so much motivation.”

Lilla's SheCodes Plus Add-On Testimonial
β€œI enjoyed this course as it was a good mixture of basic and advanced knowledge. The introduced libraries are extremely useful; it saves a lot of time! Playing around with the time zones and formatting dates was also fun.”
Β 
Lilla's SheCodes Responsive Testimonial
β€œThis was a great workshop, with very well-explained videos and engaging content, as usual. I really like the tools we have learned to use and the final result of the responsive websites. I find the workshop's content extremely useful; now, my web pages look (and behave) like every other webpage.” 

Lilla's SheCodes Responsive Add-On Testimonial
β€œI really enjoyed learning with Matt, and I loved working on this project! Making websites responsive is essential, as many people use mobile devices to access websites. This is a crucial skill to make better web pages and reach more users through the web.”

Lilla's SheCodes React Testimonial
β€œI enjoyed so much learning about React, the course is built up in a way that it is easy to follow and understand. I am also glad that there is a possibility to build two projects, so it provides more practice opportunities. I found the course content very useful and entertaining as well! It was a great experience and I highly recommend it!”

Lilla's SheCodes Next Testimonial
β€œThe 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. It is absolutely a game-changer course. I highly recommend it for any job-seeker (not just for developers). I will revisit it in the future when I look for jobs again.”

Lilla's SheCodes Workshops Testimonial
β€œIt 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!”
