With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.

Sonja Mehnert

My name is Sonja

I am a self-taught software developer looking to apply my skills in a new role.

Particularly, I am interested to break into Software Engineering with a focus on all that's happening behind the scenes.

That being said, I am open for any intermediate step that will bring me closer to that goal.

Writing about Tech - Selling Tech - Creating Tech

My first career started with my graduation from the University of Innsbruck with a Masters Degree in Translation Studies and culminated in bringing a new brand of Remote Access Software to the German Speaking Markets as a Business Development Account Manager in Amsterdam.

Now I am ready to go deeper into the weeds for the second half of my career, transitioning from talking about technology to building it. After making my first programming steps with Python - for which I hold a PCEP certification - I moved on swiftly to PostgreSQL and graduated from the online Computer Science Career Path at Codecademy earlier this year. Continuous learning is at the core of my being, so I recently added basic Java to my Tech Stack and are currently immersing myself in the universe of web technologies.

My Top Skills

Python Structured Query Language (SQL) Java
Git Version Control Visual Studio Code Command Line Interface -- Bash
JavaScript HTML CSS
