Tech Connect 2018
Ciudad Autonoma Buenos Aires, Argentina

I joined Tech Connect in 2018 as a recent Industrial Engineering graduate student, and now, I'm working as a Senior Associate Software Engineer and Tech Lead – managing a 4-person team in Buenos Aires. I work on the backend, helping develop a web application in Investment Banking, to simplify Application Owners and Managers' action items. We support their commitments by centralizing what they need to do.

Tech Connect is not only a coding program, but a diverse community that supports and empowers you at any stage of your career, regardless of your background. My team welcomed me and has provided opportunities to continue learning and growing.

Tech Connect 2019
Houston, Texas

While studying pre-med in college, I fell in love with technology. Tech Connect provided me with the opportunity to gain industry experience and learn computer programming fundamentals. The program gave me the initial confidence I needed to program in a "greenfield" codebase, and it has increased with support from existing team members and adding production level code to the applications. Since then, I have transformed into a persevering idealist and have developed genuine relationships while being the change that I want to see.

Currently, I am a full-stack Software Engineer in the Digital Investment Banking group. I support platforms that serve as a tool for investment bankers; the dashboards are built in reactJS and Java.

Tech Connect 2019
Bengaluru, India

I was diagnosed with a hearing disorder when I was six months old and never wanted my disability to diminish my dreams. In 2019, I was accepted into Tech Connect, and felt that everything I had worked so hard for since I was a child had led me to this amazing opportunity. Tech Connect has helped me immensely by providing Java and SQL technical training and prepared me for a smooth transition into the workplace.

When I first joined my team, I was assigned small, achievable objectives and given feedback with action items to help me improve. When I was struggling, I was introduced to mentors to help me learn and move forward. Now as a Software Engineer in Payments technology, I consider Tech Connect one of the most impactful learning experiences of my life.

After completing my Mathematics degree, Tech Connect gave me the confidence and core programming skills required to successfully integrate and excel within my roles at J.P Morgan. Currently I am a full-stack Software Engineer in the Tax Reporting team and co-lead a women in Technology initiative that has provided hundreds of women in Bournemouth with community and training to help them thrive in their careers.

I joined Tech Connect after graduating with a Masters in Information Science. The coaching and support from the program's instructors helped me transform my programming skills, while providing me with a network of like-minded professionals as I kick-started my career. As a result, I was able to hit the ground running and embrace leadership opportunities as they arose.

I am now a Software Engineer within the Credit e-Trading space, where we create and maintain trading software. My day-to-day includes a mixture of developing applications, collaborating with stakeholders, and mentoring new talent.

Natalie:

I would not be a software engineer today if it wasn't for Tech Connect.

Carolyn:

Tech Connect was designed for those who don't have a background in coding and to bring in those who are both traditionally diverse but also cognitively diverse.

Shayna:

When I came here, I was getting people from many different mindsets: finance, math, history, world language. That really opened my mind to seeing how diverse groups can work even better together than just people all from the same background.

Jennifer:

We started as a small-but-mighty program five years ago and we've now grown globally, and we've trained hundreds of software engineers that have now joined Global Technology at JPMorgan Chase.

Christen:

The best way to learn how to code is to actually code. Our instructors will start the day with lecture and demonstrations. Then the participants will spend the majority of their time applying the things that they've learned through labs, group projects, individual projects and some assessments as well.

Milam:

Being able to code should be more accessible to people. Having a program like this is doing that.

Shayna:

You're not just coding a simple application for a school assignment. You're seeing how it can really impact everyday life of people.

Lori:

Tech Connect is an important program for the firm because it helps us build a pipeline of strong technology talent, which is key to our future.

Rozie:

Tech Connect is not just about the coding skills and those core technical skills. It's also about the leadership skills and knowing how to develop in your career.

Christen:

We are empowering people to take charge of their careers in ways that they never thought possible.

Ryan:

Tech Connect put me on a path and really gave me a solid foundation to build off of.

Shayna:

This program truly is one of a kind. I can confidently say I'm a better programmer, a better employee, and a better technologist because I went through Tech Connect.
