A “short” story of how I randomly got into tech, software, and cloud computing

When I was 6 someone (likely my grandfather) convinced me that I was skilled in math and therefore I should work in a bank 
So I studied to become an accountant in high school, while graduating at music school too 
I was mistakenly assigned to the programming specialization, where we learned Visual Basic and SQL 
I hated building accounting reports, but taught myself how to build simple games

University was never in my radar, my family just couldn’t afford it 
but I got a great scholarship in my hometown’s university and convinced my parents it was worth a shot, so I started a computer science bachelor at @UniboMagazine while completing my music diploma

I managed to graduate while studying web development on my own (PHP and MySQL), and then randomly found out about “Sound and Music Engineering”, a very fascinating master degree in Como at @polimi that combined both software engineering and music 
I was lucky enough to get another great scholarship that allowed me to continue studying basically for free, so I moved to Como in 2011 after finding my first (remote) part-time job as web developer 
While studying in Como, in 2013 I randomly met @stefanobellasio and @jibbolo who were about to get started with @cloudacademy and offered me a very exciting job 
This is when I started learning about web development at scale and the cloud

During those startup years I was very inspired by @simon, @jeffbarr, @danilop, @IanMmmm and many others who shared their stories and knowledge in DevRel, so I decided to join @awscloud in 2018 
I love working hard and learning new things every day from my peers! but there is also a lot of “randomly” and “luckily” in this thread 
so thank you all for providing some of that randomness and luck
