From Industrial Engineer to Software Engineer

Harold Torres Marino

I’ve deeply enjoyed the Software Engineering Transform course. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has decided to be job-ready in this field. My mentor has been an immense help throughout my learning process, as he’s always been willing to help, even after long live sessions or weekends when there’s no need to. The staff frequently asks for feedback, which makes me think they’re always looking for improvements, and that’s a good sign.

As the world increasingly relies on technology, Cyber Security has become a top priority for businesses and individuals. There are many types of cyber threats, including viruses, malware, phishing scams, and hacking.
