Nick Papageorgiou spent years in customer service, marketing, and sales, but these roles never fit him well. With no prior experience in coding or programming, Nick decided to make a bold move.
“I had no experience with coding, programming, or handling data at all. I was working in either marketing, sales, customer service, and anything in between that came into my path.”
A friend mentioned bootcamps that help people upskill or change careers without the lengthy commitment of a traditional degree. After some research, Nick found HyperionDev’s part-time Software Engineering Bootcamp, which promised to give him the skills to break into the tech world.
Embracing the Challenge
Despite having zero technical background, Nick embraced the challenge. One of his most significant tasks was the Capstone task manager project, which pushed his limits but helped him develop crucial problem-solving skills.
Nick feels that HyperionDev’s tutors were pivotal in guiding him through difficult moments, ensuring he kept moving forward.
“The tutors were really helpful during the online lectures, and through their guidance, I managed to pass all the sticking points during the project.”
A New Career Path
Nick now works as a Data Entry and Tariff Administrator at Insite Energy. His role includes generating reports, ensuring data accuracy, and interacting with databases. Nick credits the bootcamp for building his confidence in handling data, quickly picking up new skills, and easily transitioning into a technical role.
“Since I managed to write code in Python, I found it very easy to create formulas in Excel, handle data, and work with intermediate math. I can also pick things up very quickly due to me being accustomed to working with numbers, data, and basic functions.”
HyperionDev’s Career Services played a crucial role in Nick’s job search. Career Services helped him secure a role aligned with his new skills and offered future programming opportunities.
Nick highly recommends HyperionDev’s bootcamp to anyone considering a career change into tech.
