My husband and I were grocery shopping at the dollar store. The limited disposable income that we had went to IT boot-camps that yielded nothing. DPI not only enhanced my skills but connected me with a world class organization in which I am now a Software Engineer. None of this would have been possible without DPI.

The opportunity at UL has been a turning point in my career. As an Automation Developer, I apply my DPI full-stack training with a focus on Python, SQL, and UiPath. I enjoy seeing the real impact of automation and value the support of my team, especially my manager. I'm proud to grow while helping create a safer world.

I am from the south side of Chicago and blessed with a beautiful family that includes three young girls. Through DPI, I was introduced to SAP and it literally changed my life. Today, I am a full time employee of SAP making 300% more in compensation. In the process, I've shown my daughters that with hard work anything is possible.

Before UL, I explored various IT roles while gaining hands-on experience. UL gave me the structure, mentorship, and real-world exposure I needed to fully engage in cybersecurity. I've grown technically and professionally, built confidence, and confirmed that this is the field I want to build my long-term career in.

Working at UL has been life-changing. After moving from Georgia to join DPI's program, I became a Business Data Analyst at UL and finally found direction. I've gained real-world experience, grown more confident, and discovered the kind of professional I want to be—all thanks to a supportive team and great mentorship.

UL has been a transformative step in my shift from banking to tech. I've gained confidence, taken ownership of real projects, and found purpose in my work. With strong support, I now build company-wide applications and contribute meaningfully within Agile teams—growth I never imagined before.

UL has given me the financial freedom to develop an accessibility tech project supporting people with schizophrenia. I'm prototyping a device that scans ambient noise to help users identify whether a sound is real or hallucinatory. A steady salary has reduced stress and allowed me to focus creatively on meaningful innovation.

My passion for tech, learning, and problem-solving led me to Discovery Partners Institute during a challenging time. Balancing work and study, I found not just skills but a supportive community. Now at CIBC as an Application Developer, I use those skills to solve real problems and keep growing every day.

DPI opened doors I didn't know existed. Through mentorship and hands-on experience, I gained clarity in my career path and the confidence to pursue tech. Landing a role at SAP as an AI Architect was made possible by DPI, and I'm deeply grateful for the support that helped me turn my interests into a career.
