Embracing Freelancing, My 2021 Career Pivot
New turn
In 2021, like many others, I faced unexpected changes due to the global pandemic. After being laid off from my role, I decided to take a leap into freelancing—a move I had always considered but never fully committed to. With my experience in full-stack development, I was ready to explore new opportunities on my own terms.
Freelancing
Freelancing allowed me to dive into a variety of projects, not just building full-stack solutions but also offering end-user support. This combination of development and client-facing work gave me a deeper insight into how software impacts users directly, refining my approach to development.
perfect transition
While the transition wasn’t always smooth, the freedom to manage my own time and the diversity of projects I encountered has been incredibly rewarding. Freelancing has helped me grow both as a developer and as a professional, opening up new possibilities I hadn’t considered before.
