From Java to the cloud: A developer’s transformation

In the fast-paced world of IT, staying current with the latest technologies is essential, and Udemy has played a critical role in helping Alex Dómini García Búrbano maintain a competitive edge.

When he first joined Telus Digital as a software engineer, he was hired for his Java development skills. He worked mainly on applications that were used on physical and virtual machines. However, early into his journey, both he and the company were surprised to find that his client-assigned projects required expertise in NodeJS development for cloud-based environments — a skill set he had not yet picked up.

Undeterred, Alex quickly turned to Udemy courses and started learning the skills necessary to excel in his new role. Since upskilling himself, he has delivered multiple successful cloud-based NodeJS projects for clients across the United States and Canada. He’s also gained proficiency in essential tools like Git, Kubernetes, and Docker, further growing his technical expertise.

Alex can stay ahead in the tech industry because of the Udemy Marketplace and its many instructors. These instructors create new courses and update existing courses as in-demand skills change. In an ever-changing industry, he can turn challenges into opportunities for his company, his clients, and his career.
