As an AI developer and software architect at IBM, Bradley Steinfeld specializes in emerging technologies like blockchain, Web 2.0, and cloud computing, but he got his start as a QA tester not that long ago. Over time, he built his expertise through online learning, connecting with his peers, and hands-on experience. In fact, if he could go back in time, he’d encourage his younger self to “get your hands dirty and work on real projects.” Now, he’s sharing his wisdom with you. “Be patient and persistent,” he says. “Make yourself and your work known, don’t be afraid to ask questions, seek help, and take risks.” Visit the link for more of Steinfeld’s insights about starting and growing your tech career: https://lnkd.in/gs824wWD

Meet Teshawn Black, who is #LearningFrom Chicago! “I took the Google Data Analyst Professional Certificate, and it changed everything. From SQL to data visualization, I gained the skills I needed to transform my career. Within 4 weeks, I completed the certification, and just 3 months later, I landed my first contract role at LinkedIn, followed by Google. As a Black man in tech, breaking into this industry has been about more than just a career—it's about breaking barriers. I've helped 500+ people start their journey into tech, showing that you don't need a traditional path to succeed.  My advice? Keep pushing, leverage the right skills, and don’t be afraid to take risks. Coursera gave me the spark to do what I once thought was impossible. Now, I'm using my voice to help others find their way in tech.”  #BreakBarriers #TechJourney #LifelongLearning
