JAKE PILIKIAN

SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT DELOITTE

Seeking a better work-life balance and higher earning potential, Jake
transitioned from customer service to pursue a tech career in 2019. At Makers,
he found a vibrant learning environment among passionate, ambitious peers. 

He says “During my time at Makers I learned to work with many different people
with different learning styles, and the ability to pick up new technical ideas
quickly. These skills have been instrumental in my professional growth.” 

Jake currently works as a Software Developer at Deloitte Digital, where he
regularly applies the expertise gained at Makers to his day-to-day
responsibilities. 

ELLIE KELSCH

INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER AT SPOTIFY

Ellie transitioned from Office Management to the tech industry, having worked in
a role supporting an engineering team in a startup. Having navigated various
administrative roles after dropping out of veterinary medical studies, she
sought a more engaging career path. Exposure to tech at the startup prompted her
to explore coding courses, eventually propelling her into changing careers. 

Reflecting on her Makers experience, she highlights the onsite, full-time format
as pivotal for her motivation. The collaborative workshops provided a
stimulating learning environment and a community of people to lean on for
support. 

During her time at Makers, Ellie acquired skills including JavaScript
programming, the basics of scrum and agile methodologies. Crucially, the course
emphasized the importance of working as a team rather than as an individual
contributor which has proven instrumental in her professional growth.

She says “At Makers they don’t just teach you how to code, they teach you how to
teach yourself and that has been the biggest helping hand in my engineering
career so far.” 

Ellie now works as an Infrastructure Engineer at Spotify having previously held
engineering roles at Compare the Market and Lego. 

JOSH BLUMBERG

SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT MONZO

Josh joined Makers in 2020, aiming to transition from digital marketing to a
career in tech. His ambition was to move into a role where he could leverage his
technical and analytical skills while minimizing the time he spent in meetings—a
common aspect of his previous job in marketing.

Josh was initially drawn to Makers due to the focus on practical skills and
employability. He found the group projects and workshops from experienced
coaches the most beneficial and enjoyable.

While on the bootcamp, Josh developed a comprehensive skill set, including full
stack development in a number of languages and frameworks and working in agile
teams. Most importantly, he developed a drive to stay focused and committed to
solving challenging problems.

Josh is currently a Backend Software Engineer at Monzo. He says "The skills I
gained at Makers have played a vital role in my professional development and
greatly contributed to my success as an engineer."

DEBORA PIU

PLATFORM ENGINEER AT SKYFII

Debora joined Makers in 2018, seeking a transition from the hospitality industry
to tech. At Makers, she acquired tech skills that positioned her as a software
engineer and facilitated her transition into platform engineering later in her
career. 

Makers' emphasis on continuous learning became her guiding principle in the
constantly evolving tech industry. It transcends mere coding; possessing the
right mindset is crucial for adapting and thriving amidst changes.

A takeaway from Debora's Makers experience was the significance of embracing
failure as a stepping stone to success. On the bootcamp, mistakes were seen as
invaluable learning opportunities. This insight steered her towards workplaces
committed to ongoing learning and personal development.

Debora advocates conducting thorough research and fostering a network when
selecting a bootcamp. Connecting with fellow learners, mentors, alumni, or
professionals can significantly impact one's journey.

Embracing the learning curve and acknowledging that growth occurs beyond comfort
zones is essential. She says "Don't be disheartened by fearing failure, instead
learn from setbacks, stay curious and updated on new technologies, tools, and
methodologies. 

Imposter syndrome is a common experience, believe in your potential and measure
progress against yourself rather than seeking perfection."

Debora is now based in Lisbon working as a Platform Engineer for AI startup,
Skyfii.

This makes them highly adaptable in an ever-changing industry. Plus, all our
students work in teams to replicate a real tech team work environment.
