Micky Macato Hello guys! My name is Micky Macato and I'm 35 yrs old from Philippines. I've been living in Japan for almost 10years. I studied Japanese for a year then been teaching English for the past 9 years. I'm also an entrepreneur. I've been interested with Web Development when I designed my own website using Weebly. It was cool but it was loading really slow. I have no idea about UI back then, buttons were all over the place, in short it was not pretty. I saw some of my co-workers studying programming on their free time. I got curious and started asking questions whenever we go out for drinks. They motivated me on learning web development too. So I started slowly with CS50 and Freecodecamp trying to feel it first if programming was for me. I also did some research on how many people actually found jobs and changed their career. Also I was concerned with my age as I'm already 34 that time. I felt I'm too old for this. But like they say you'll never know unless you try! and so I did! The school that I was working for had to close for almost three months due to COVID-19. Since I had nothing to do I enrolled online with Codecademy. I felt that if I actually pay for something this will definitely motivate me. Took their Web Development course in three months. I felt that something is still missing. I'm not confident with myself still. I would easily forget what I studied and it's not sticking. So I decided to enroll with Le Wagon Tokyo and took the 9 weeks Full-time FullStack Web Development course last Summer. The first 3weeks was hell! It was painful! I was really struggling in understanding the concepts. But all the teachers we're very supportive and helpful Doug, Trouni and Yann! Always offer their help whenever we get stuck and we're very patient in explaining everything for us! We had to give our pitch (an idea for an app) and mine was Greeter and I was really happy that it was chosen to be presented for our demo day! I got to team up with my talented classmates Samir and Marc. I learned how to work in a team. It was really exciting! Le Wagon Tokyo guided us on how to build our app in 10days! Teaching us different skills, strategies, tips to deliver an amazing app! Sasha and Sylvan even helped me out in practicing my presentation for Demo Day! and just like that 9 weeks went by really fast! After the course they gave us some tips on how to land a job or launch our own start-up. They contacted different people to help us kick-start our career. After several interviews 200plus applications I finally got an offer with a company that I felt I could grow in the future. I'm going to start on Dec 1st as a Full-Stack Web Developer with Willbox a logistics IT company in Minatomirai, Yokohama. I couldn't have done this ofcourse without the help of my family and my very supportive fiancé.
