Etty Fried, a former chemistry and biology teacher from London, boldly transitioned into a Software Engineer role. Etty spent six years teaching GCSE and A-level students before deciding to follow her passion for coding. Despite her lack of formal coding education, she taught herself through books and videos until she found an opportunity to develop her skills further with a HyperionDev bootcamp.
From Teaching to Tech: Etty’s Journey
Etty’s journey began when she saw an advert for the HyperionDev Software Engineering Bootcamp. She applied, won a scholarship, and embarked on an immersive learning experience that changed the course of her career. With mentorship and the support of HyperionDev’s community, Etty worked on significant projects, like developing a task management system with over 300 lines of code.
“HyperionDev’s mentorship stood out. I had several mentor calls where the team patiently explained concepts and guided me to find the correct solutions,” she shared. These experiences enhanced her technical proficiency and boosted her confidence to take on real-world challenges.
Landing a Software Engineer Role
Upon nearing the completion of the bootcamp, Etty was offered a role as a Software Engineer at Agudas Israel Housing Association, marking her official career switch. While deciding whether to accept the position, Etty attributes her job offer to the skills and confidence she gained through the bootcamp.
“The course is thorough, covering advanced proficiency in Python, object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, version control, and agile methodologies,” Etty said. “HyperionDev was determined to help us land jobs through workshops, networking, and career support.”
Etty’s story is a testament to how the Software Engineering Bootcamp at HyperionDev prepares students for the tech industry, no matter their starting point. She highly recommends the program to anyone considering a career change or upskilling in software development.
