Kevin Miller: From Spreadsheet Whiz to Developer Extraordinaire

Podcast Senior Dev Kevin Miller on Overcoming 3 Layoffs

Podcast Overcoming 3 Layoffs with Senior Dev Kevin Miller

Are you ready for this week’s podcast? Well, prepare to be entertained and enlightened as I chat with the legendary Kevin Miller – senior developer and mastermind behind the Coder Conversations YouTube channel.

Now, Kevin wasn’t always a tech wizard. In fact, he started off studying accounting in Texas (yawn). And to make ends meet, he slugged it out in the hospitality industry, working night shifts at various hotels. Let’s just say, he was making about as much as your average fast-food employee. Ouch!

But here’s where the plot thickens, my friends. Kevin’s affinity for spreadsheets led him down a different path – one paved with keyboards and lines of code. Like a spreadsheet superhero, he dove headfirst into the world of programming and automation. And boy, did it pay off!

After a year of hardcore coding bootcamp (which consisted of Kevin crashing at his parents’ place and eating way too much pizza), he scored his first developer job. And the best part? He tripled his income overnight! Boom!

Since then, Kevin has worked his tech magic at several Fortune 500 companies. But as they say, “no pain, no gain.” Kevin’s journey hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns. He’s been hit with the tyranny of layoffs not once, not twice, but three times! Damn, mergers and bankruptcies. They never miss their cue, do they?

But Kevin didn’t let all those setbacks bring him down. Oh no, he used them as fuel to create something truly incredible. Enter Coder Conversations – a platform where Kevin and his fellow coding comrades discuss all things tech and share golden career advice. They’ve racked up an impressive 200 episodes and counting. Talk about dedication!
