My journey from college student to Fortune 1 software engineer
Started my programming journey from zero, just like everyone else. Struggled with the basics, watched countless tutorials, and slowly built my foundation.
Became a teaching assistant, helping other students navigate the same challenges I once faced. This deepened my understanding and communication skills.
Landed my first real-world software engineering experience at a major financial institution. Learned about production systems and enterprise-level development.
Converted to full-time and gained valuable experience building scalable financial systems and working with diverse teams.
Achieved my goal of working at a Fortune 1 company, applying everything I learned along the way. Now I want to help others follow a similar path.
I spent 6 hours creating this website and condensing all the information from my decade of experience because I want to help. I've been exactly where you are - confused about what to learn, overwhelmed by the options, and unsure about the path forward.
This roadmap represents the exact journey I wish I had when I started. Every level, every requirement, every piece of advice comes from real experience and real mistakes I made along the way.
