She taught herself coding at age 30 for zero dollars [Podcast #160]

On this week's episode of the podcast, I interview Julia Undeutsch who is a self-taught software engineer and accessibility specialist. She works at a big European company making software more accessible for people with disabilities.

Julia taught herself to code in her 30s using freeCodeCamp.

We talk about:

• Julia's coding journey from poker dealer to self-taught software engineer

• How she creates tutorials in Japanese

• Her passion for making software easier to use for everyone

• Working remotely at a big European software consultancy
