In the second episode of the Techqueria podcast, Jose Fermoso speaks to two software engineers still new to the profession. First, Jose speaks to Gabriel Lujan, a Bay Area native who worked on the electronic media side of tech as an A/V pro until his interest in programming led him to the San Francisco bootcamp App Academy to boost his skills. Then Jose talks to Steffany Bahamon, a Miami techie who was the first person in her family to go to a U.S. college and works for a bank hoping to help Latinx avoid disastrous financial decisions like those made by people she knew in the run up to the 2008 global financial crisis.
