| Chris Dabatos came from a family of medics but found himself unsure of what he wanted to do. He bounced from job to job in an attempt at finding the right fit. Eventually, Chris became an audiovisual executive assistant, but with limited future prospects. He needed a new direction that would allow him to take control his own career. When Chris was first introduced to coding, he realized it would open up limitless opportunities, but best of all, it didn't require a degree to excel. Instead, all he needed was to do was learn the necessary skills and have the determination to work hard. Chris couldn't afford his own computer, so he learned with Treehouse during his free time at work. After 3 months of dedication, Chris landed a junior developer position at a processing company. Less than a year after that, Chris became the main developer for the company. Since then, Chris has been able to work with a wide range of fantastic clients and even started his own YouTube Channel to share his life as a developer and help encourage other aspiring developers to take that first leap into code.
