He shared how Sabio changed his life. And because they were forced to go remote due to the Pandemic in 2020. This gave him the opportunity to join in since he did not have to be physically in LA. It also helped prepare him for work after graduating since he is currently working remote in both his roles. 

We also discussed the community of people that you meet through Sabio. Not only does the team at Sabio provide resources to help you with your resume, interviews, finding a job and more. You also get connected to a community of alumni who have gone through the program. It was through the alumni network he met his co-founder for Wealth Build. 

One of the hardest challenges he had through the bootcamp was wanting to apply to jobs before Sabio and the team said he was ready. He is a planner and likes to have everything locked in. So having the fear of not having a job was stressful. But he trusted the team and in hindsight is grateful their advice and feedback. And he was able to get a job and start within two weeks of graduating from Sabio’s program. In the end, he realized he needed to wait until he was prepared and ready for interviews instead of jumping the gun and possibly burning bridges by showing how much he still had to learn. 

He shared about his career with Vizient. They have a team structure that everyone gets an equal voice. He really enjoys being part of the team and being able to freely share his ideas and even the opportunity to follow a hunch to see if an idea will work. He also is excited to be working to build a fintech start up (Wealth Build). Software Engineering gets him excited and he loves being able to find a new way to solve problems.
