From Salinas to Android Dev: Nicolas Lara on In the Making

Growing up in Salinas Valley, Nicolas never thought he would become a software engineer. In his first roles as a field worker, baker, and eventually a college student, he learned from his family and community the value of hard work, camaraderie, and education, and took on the ambitious CSin3 program to become a developer. 

In this episode, Nicolas speaks with Zain about taking an accelerated program for students to gain a CS degree in 3 years, what's it like to develop on the Android platform, his most valuable teaching experiences, and more. I highly recommend this episode to inspire and level up the creator and educator in you!
