    Software Engineer, Xplor Technologies

    Melbourne

    👋 Hey there, software enthusiasts! I'm Abby Durbridge, a driven software engineer with a passion for innovation and an inspiring software engineer success story to share. Currently, I'm with Xplor Technologies, where I focus on building scalable web-based products that automate administration in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Sector.

    My path into Tech tends to be coined as a "career pivot," but I think of my journey as less dramatic and intimidating than that—Instead, my winning formula has been to simply stack and mature skills that will facilitate any of your ambitious dreams.

    Highly desired industry skills like communication, problem-solving, and initiative are proud abilities I honed in my previous customer-focused experiences. These skills played a significant role in helping me win half the battle when I set out to become a software engineer.

    As my career is still in its youth and my experiences are fresh, I'd like to pass on valuable gems that will hopefully help you kickstart your own rewarding journey in software engineering.
