#157 Shahid Iqbal from drug design to software development

Shahid took us from his desire to create drugs all the way to his new developer job in New Zealand. We spoke about his Ph.D., changing careers, discovering computers (again), making your hobby into your day job, applying, interviewing, user groups and communities, and changing jobs during a pandemic.
