From a Lorry Driver to Ruby on Rails Developer at 38

Most traditional interviews are focused on celebrities or popular personalities. However, I am more interested in interviews with hidden gems, unknown figures doing solid work, folks overcoming challenges just to be on the same playground as everyone else.Hence, I wanted to start featuring some of them on this blog, providing a platform for sharing their compelling stories and valuable lessons. While they may not be on the covers of major publications or appearing on popular podcasts, their stories, backgrounds and experiences are nonetheless fascinating and worthy of a read.This post shares the story of Pedro David Garcia Lopez, who switched careers from being a Lorry driver to a Ruby on Rails developer at the age of 38, an age that many folks in the software industry consider to be too old (which is nonsense!). I came across Pedro on LinkedIn and found his story really inspiring.
