πŸ““About me

I got into tech after getting degree in accounting and stayed in the enterprise software development industry in last 20 years or so on various positions with emphasis on efficiency and optimization. In the last 5 years I'm transitioning to data-oriented engineering roles: data analysis, analytics engineering. While I have a background in consulting, my favorite roles are the product development where one can find so many opportunitis to make our online world a better place.

As a boot camp graduate, what can I do to stand out?

Having your portfolio and/or professional certificates may help. Not all certificates are equally useful, though. Depending on your desired position, cloud providers (GCP, AWS, Azure, etc) certificates have value, as well as some professional certificates for web and backend development. While certification usually costs something, portfolio is limited by your time and skills.
