I’m Learning to Code from Scratch: My 5-Year Roadmap to Becoming a Bio-Data Scientist

Hello, DEV community! 👋 I’m starting a journey that feels like running a marathon in a race where I’ve already been lapped. I don’t have a degree, I don’t have a fortune, and I am starting from absolute zero. But I have a clear vision: to bridge the gap between Data Science and Microbiology to conduct research in the United States. Why am I here? Modern biological breakthroughs are no longer just in the lab; they happen at the intersection of biology and code. To fund my dream and build a global career, I am teaching myself Python, Data Science, and SQL. The Foundation: Currently mastering English and preparing for the GED exam to unlock international education opportunities. The Skillset: I am building my technical foundation from scratch. I’m documenting every line of code, every struggle with documentation, and every breakthrough in my personal roadmap. The Launchpad: Argentina is my strategic first step. It’s where I’ll gain international experience, immerse myself in a new culture
