Your experience matters — help shape the future of tech

After my undergraduate studies, I worked as a corporate finance analyst in a two-year rotational program at a bulge bracket investment bank. I gained business management and financial analysis skills. I did not enjoy working with the legacy database systems at this bank. This frustration was one of my introductions to tech. … I am getting a graduate degree in computer science to understand the technicalities of building software applications and become a well-rounded product manager. Luckily, I found the Align CS program to help with the transition, especially since I had little programming experience. … I see an entrepreneurial future in merging my love for music, sports, and personal finance with some tech solutions. I look forward to growing as a computer scientist and working on cool projects
