    Coding Bootcamp

    I am an IT professional with about 2 decade of experience. Most of my experience was in legacy technology and past 5 years I've been playing the role of Business Analyst. I was working for Delta Airlines in Minnesota campus. When COVID hit and impacted Airline business, the great company it is, with great leaders, we were offered voluntary packages to separate from the company with health insurance for a year. I took that opportunity to introspect my career path and retool myself. As I l...

    UX/UI Design Bootcamp

    I would highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone wanting to learn and put in the time. I made lasting relationships with classmates that I will now carry through my career, as well as so many skills I never thought I could learn in a 6 month time period. It really gives you the tools to do so many things with your career or business.

    Just like BEING REBORN

    Syria, 1997. My very first experience facing a PC. It was running on Windows 95, very slow, very noisy, and extremely magical. That was the moment when I said to my father "I will become a programmer". Then, life took me on a different path (financial pressure/survival mode) and I ended up working in the media field for +8 years. But that moment of love, at first sight, stayed with me and I had to remind myself that “IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO BECOME A CODER”.

    Absolutely worth the financial and time investment

    I highly recommend Trilogy’s U of MN Data Analytics & Visualization Boot Camp, but only if you are serious about wanting to learn!

    If you are new to coding – plan on spending 10 – 20 hours per week on homework, studying and projects.

    Did I learn a lot?

    The first day of class, I didn’t know anything about coding – not a single line of python – didn’t even know what Git Bash was.

    My final project was machine learning classifying SE...

    Before starting this bootcamp - I was lost, I didn't have a clue on what I really wanted to do but I did know I needed a change.  I needed that nudge to turn on my creative outlet and have a chance to better my future with it.  I absolutely love the routine of having class, working on projects, and building a portfolio.  I have learned so much from this class and created things I never thought I would ever make.  It is a continuing circle of knowledge and development.

    Challenging, Inspiring, Bittersweet

    I came to this boot camp with no knowledge about cybersecurity. It was very challenging and at times I was worried I was not going to understand any of this. Now that it is the end of the class, I am proud but also sad. I’ve really enjoyed my time working with my instructor Howard and TA Reggie. They’ve really help find myself and my strengths and weaknesses. I wish it wasn’t over this learning environment was the best! Graduating 2023
