Carla Miles
User-Focused Solution Builder
Hi, I'm Carla.
I’m a full stack software developer, highly interested in back-end development. I'm a
recent
graduate
(and class valedictorian) of Chicago Codes, an 11-week immersive Python coding program
that’s a
collaboration between the Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership and Coding Dojo.
Prior to starting my
tech
journey, I spent several years helping customers and colleagues identify and solve
problems,
leading
me
to start my own skincare business in 2015. I created my own organic, natural skin
moisturizer
from
scratch and handled all of my own marketing, finances, and production, consistently
increasing
sales
each year and building relationships with customers in various cities across the US.
In the fall of 2018, I
realized that I wanted to attain programming skills that would help me to create a more
diverse
range of
products and systems that can make an even bigger impact on people’s lives. I started
teaching
myself
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript via online programs and eventually applied and was accepted to
Chicago
Codes,
being chosen out of 100s of other applicants for their first cohort of students.
I would love to add
value to an organization that solves problems for all types of people and helps enhance the
daily
lives
of others.
