In school, I studied Computer Science and Philosophy. I have been a part of the IT community, through meetups and volunteering/free conferences since 2012. These include the old DevJam OpenSpace unconferences, Devopsdays MSP, and Devops MSP. Currently, I am taking a semester off, as I have one spring course to take left for my Philosophy degree. Despite my lack of formal experience, I understand how to requirements gather and develop using separation of concerns and have firm grasps of the theory and philosophy of Microservices, Agile. I have strong communication skills, love working and helping with others, and truly just need a foot in the door of IT. I have used git at a basic level.
