Hello, World!

My name is Ernesto and this is my first coding blog. I am excited to dive deep into the fundamentals of software engineering. Welcome to my journey through the good, the bad, and the infinite loops!

I recently graduated from Actualize Coding Bootcamp in Chicago. I signed up for the in-person cohort but due to Covid-19, we were left with no choice but to transition to a fully remote format halfway through the coding bootcamp. Stay tuned for a future post where I will share my full experience at Actualize.

I welcome every opportunity to advance my skills. My daily routine includes hacking away at coding challenges, designing and building projects, and reading about data structures and algorithms. Currently, I am reading two books:

  1. A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms, Second Edition by Jay Wengrow
  2. Cracking the Coding Interview: 150 Programming Interview Questions and Solutions by Gayle Laakmann McDowell

In My Spare Time

When I’m not coding, I’m investing quality time to playing guitar, songwriting, playing soccer, and listening to audiobooks using the Libby app. I look forward to growing as a software engineer, a creative problem solver, and as an effective communicator. Stay tuned for the next post!

Do you have an opportunity you’d like to share? Wanna talk about code, soccer, or audiobooks? I encourage you to reach out!
