I wanted to take a challenge and I was interested in learning about programming. I didn’t know where it would fit in my life by that time but then I found software developing to be my passion. After finishing the boot camp I decided to test 2 paths (applying for a job and start my own entrepreneurship) I found the path of entrepreneurship to be the one I want to build and now I’m working in my second project and got other people asking me to work [on] their projects too.

I really wanted to change what I was doing as a job (Process consultant), I was already an engineer when I enrolled [in] the program but I wanted to have the specific skills of a developer. It has really impacted…my life because I did change what I was doing before and I have the opportunity to come to Europe as well.

I chose to attend because the world is rapidly moving towards automated processes, as well as a more robust and necessary online presence. Attending the boot camp was my way of ‘future-proofing’ myself so I can better understand the new technologies that are being developed thanks to the excellent foundation acquired in the program. It has impacted my life by showing me how in-demand developers are. Before the boot camp, it took me four months to find my last job and now I found an internship within a week of having finished the program! I hope the internship translates into a job in the same company, and if not, at least it’s an excellent addition to my resume to look for further opportunities.

[The Coding Boot Camp] definitely affected my life positively. Without the boot camp, I wouldn’t be employed right now. It’s not for everyone [though], if you don’t put a lot of extra time into the course it’s not really worth it, but they tell you that from the start. I decided to attend the bootcamp because I left college for personal reasons. I was seeking the technical knowledge of programming and I got it.
