We Belong Here: Lessons from Unconventional Paths to Tech

Yechiel Kalmenson: Torah && Tech

Yechiel Kalmenson is a rabbi and teacher who pivoted to engineering three years ago. After serving as a rabbi and elementary teacher for a few years, Yechiel faced a crossroads and needed to pivot careers. He started working in technical support, took courses online, and ultimately enrolled in a boot camp to learn to code. And today, he is a software engineer at VMware!

He still loves teaching and does that as much as he can through mentoring and using his blog and weekly newsletter, Torah && Tech.
