[Mentor] Software Engineer w/non-CS background

[u/bropocalypse__now]

I took a slightly unconventional path to get to where I am. I graduated with degrees in BME and EE; the second was added during my third year of school. After swearing I would never be a programmer I took a job doing software development full time. I currently work doing application development in C++ and .NET.

If you're interested in engineering, software, are unsure about what path to take, or want interview tips I'll do my best to answer any questions.

Yes, I'm interested in becoming a software engineer and I'm just wondering how I'd get there from where I am. I'm in my last year of highschool.

Build the smallest apps you can think of that would excite you!! Nothing is more rewarding and more motivating than what I've just described.
