madmac143 profile image
madmac143

Hey everyone! I’m Madison, but most people call me Maddy.
I’ve been programming for about a year now, after deciding to make a career change and I fell in love with it. So far, I’ve completed Python for Everybody and Python 3 Specializations from the University of Michigan, worked through most of CS50’s Introduction to Python, and taken a few intro courses in SQL. Right now, I’m diving into the Applied Data Science with Python Specialization (also from UM), along with some beginner courses in Ethical Hacking.
I’m learning entirely through free or low cost online courses and my own research, so I’m pretty much self taught. I love every second of it but as I’m sure some of you can relate, it can feel a bit isolating when you don’t know anyone else in tech or programming. That’s why I’m here, to connect, learn, and build relationships with others who share this passion.
I’m especially interested in Data Science using Python and SQL, since that’s where most of my experience is right now. But I’m still exploring and trying to narrow down my long term path. I’d love any advice, insights, or just good conversation and I’m more than happy to contribute however I can to this community.
Looking forward to learning and growing with you all!
