Kukkus Nishaya Maria Raj graduated with full time Web Development Evening Cohort 19.

With a background in education and healthcare, I decided to swap textbooks for code and dive into the exciting world of software engineering. My globetrotting adventures to six different countries have given me a wealth of life experiences and a fresh perspective, while my experience working with others has honed my communication and collaboration skills. All in all, I'm ready to bring my unique blend of skills and relentless work ethic to software development and have some fun while solving problems.
