Changing Careers: Meet Software Engineer NeKisha Mims
From Left to Right: Kevin Carr, Software Engineer II and NeKisha Mims, Software Engineer I

One of the things I enjoy most about being a Software Engineer is connecting with other devs, especially ones who are about to enter the field or are new to it.

Last year, I was new.

My Story: Overcoming Adversity

I was a Software Engineer I who was absorbing as much as I could. I'm now a Software Engineer II, but to be honest, I'm still learning the craft. 😉

When I was approached last year to be featured in an interview with my teammate, Devine Loving, I was excited to tell my story.

Today, I'm switching roles.

Please meet NeKisha Mims, a new Software Engineer I. Like me, NeKisha didn't take the traditional path on her journey to becoming an engineer. Unlike me, NeKisha dabbled in other fields like law and insurance.
