so I, um, started out so it kind of coming out of high school. I went to Ohio State University for a few years. I didn't end up finishing their higher education is kind of structure. Um, didn't fit as well for me. And so I ended up. I was very kind of big in the rock climbing world. I've been teaching rock climbing for a while. I ended up managing a chain of gyms, um, local to the Columbus area for a while, and, um, when cove it hit, they way have to close all the facilities, and essentially all employees were laid off. Um, and so I started looking outwards for a more stable position. Um, and I have done a couple some about a year, of course work, um, at Ohio State in computer science and some related fields and had a one of a friend I had made for the climbing world. Really been pushing me to look at the boot camp. I ended up at Tech elevator. And so I made the jump in May after after getting laid off in March and, um, had a few months of job searching and it up J P. Morgan Chase. So it's been a very eventful and exciting year, but definitely a journey I would recommend
so I can speak just a little bit. I actually just started there, so I'm not I'm not very deep into my time. You know, the biggest things coming out of the transition is just, um you know, I think transitioning languages was definitely a big pain point. Like our training I'm working through currently is all in Java and so that was definitely kind of transition. I was a sea chart, gotten that background. So just, you know, my first major time converting languages. Um And then, you know, beyond that, the biggest thing is just transitioning into a professional work environment around technology getting used to the kind of company specific technologies because a company the size of Chase's is an enormous machine. And so there's a lot of different internal technologies that are used that you don't. There's just no way to interact with where you start. And so, um, just kind of started toe. Understand? The structure has been a big thing, but, you know, it all is it's all still programming. It all still follows a similar structure. It's just kind of has been a little bit of a transition into learning specific syntax and the the way that the things work specifically so
coming in at Chase. There's a pretty robust on boarding program and training program, and so it's not so much. There's like a specific set of technologies. I mean, really, what they we We've interacted with a lot of different things. We've interacted with, kind of middle staff, have interactive database things we've and then the majority of the training that we've gone through technology touched so far have been kind of object oriented programming languages, Um, primarily Java a little bit of C sharp, but, um, for the most part, yeah, those have been it's kind of, Ah, it's a pretty broad range of technologies because there's teams doing all different kinds of things across the organization.
