Welcome & My Story

Hi, I'm Åsa, and I know exactly where you are right now. Six years ago, I was a single mom feeling lost after my divorce, wondering how I'd build a stable future for my kids and myself.

I discovered tech completely by accident. What started as curiosity about building a simple website turned into a career that gave me the freedom, flexibility, and financial independence I never thought possible.

Today, I work remotely from a beautiful coastal town in Spain, earning more than I ever did in my previous career, with a schedule that lets me be present for every important moment in my children's lives.

Here's what I want you to know:

"You are not behind. You're right on time."

This guide exists because I wish someone had shown me this path sooner. Every challenge you're facing right now is preparing you for the resilience and determination that will make you unstoppable in tech.

Your new chapter starts here. Let's build it together.
