Helping people solve problems has always been one of my passions, whether at work or personal settings. Even when I was in the Philippines earning a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, I always sought out tasks that challenged and inspired me. 

This approach brought me face-to-face with exciting developments in software product development. I enjoyed creating applications from scratch, enhancing legacy systems, and supporting internal and client-facing applications. 

The next important milestone in my journey was moving to the United States and settling in Orlando. I discovered Capco and was impressed by their emphasis on innovation and collaboration. I had also received positive feedback about their workplace environment and employee work-life balance. 

I was determined to secure a role, which meant being thoroughly prepared for the hiring process. I refined my resume, revisited technical concepts, and practiced dozens of problem-solving questions. The interview process was thorough, but friendly. 

During this time, the Capco team gave me a programming assessment so that I could prove my technical skills. I also met members of the leadership team and other Capco colleagues. These conversations gave me an insight into the working culture at Capco and reassured me that I would be a good fit! 

One of the things I like most about my role is the opportunity to put my problem-solving skills to use every day. Tackling unexpected challenges and navigating unknowns requires me to be adaptable and resourceful. It’s a rewarding environment. 

My expertise in backend development, combined with exposure to cloud technologies such as AWS, has also been extremely helpful. With these skills, I successfully applied to join the Capco generative AI team, where I contribute to innovative projects that push boundaries of AI in the workplace.

In addition to providing a rewarding professional environment, Capco promotes a healthy work-life balance. I’m a big fan of reading fiction in my spare time and most weekends you’ll find me immersed in a book.

What I value most about Capco is that it is more than just a job. I’m working in a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive environment. I’ve had the opportunity to work with talented colleagues on varied projects, from financial services to cutting-edge AI initiatives. 

The company’s commitment to inclusivity is also impressive. We celebrate diversity through events such as Diwali and Juneteenth, alongside an inclusive onboarding process. All these play a role in Capco’s Be Yourself at Work culture which fosters belonging, respect and inclusion. 

When advising those interested in Capco, my advice is always simple - Go for it. Take ownership of your career, embrace opportunities to learn, and be proactive about exploring new technologies. Capco values initiative and provides the resources you need to succeed, including mentorship and a supportive environment. You won’t regret it!
