JPMorganChase Career Growth & Development

Give us a snapshot of what you do to stay on top of your engineering knowledge and skills. 

Staying ahead in engineering requires curiosity, continuous learning and hands-on practice. I actively engage with cloud architecture and AI/ML advancements by working on complex enterprise solutions that integrate modern cloud technologies with legacy systems. I enjoy learning through a mix of structured courses, certifications and real-world problem solving. Keeping up with trends is a daily practice. I follow industry blogs, attend tech conferences and engage in our JPMorganChase knowledge sharing forums. I also dedicate time to mentoring and guiding others, which reinforces my own understanding. Learning isn’t just a scheduled activity; it’s an ongoing process that I integrate into my daily work.

What are your go-to resources for keeping your engineering skills sharp? 

I rely on a combination of hands-on experience, structured learning and community engagement. AWS Skill Builder, official AWS documentation, and platforms like Coursera and Udemy help me stay technically sharp. I follow thought leaders on LinkedIn and read industry blogs for insights into trends and technologies. Engaging in architectural discussions with peers is another way I stay informed and challenge my thinking. These interactions often lead to exchanges of ideas and best practices, which I can apply to my work. 

Certification programs, including AWS professional exams (which are no easy feat), challenge me to deepen my expertise and validate my skills. Preparing for these exams requires an understanding of complex concepts and the ability to apply them in real-world scenarios. This process ensures that I am well-equipped to tackle the challenges of modern engineering.

 Additionally, I participate in JPMorganChase tech meetups and join discussions on cloud, AI and modernization strategies. These events provide opportunities to network with other professionals, share experiences and learn from experts. By staying engaged with our tech community, I am able to keep my skills sharp.

What does the learning culture look like at your company or on your engineering team?

At JPMorganChase, continuous learning is deeply embedded in the culture. As an architect, I work with cross- functional teams that encourage knowledge sharing through architectural reviews, tech talks and mentorship. The firm supports professional development through internal training programs, certifications and access to cutting-edge research like quantum computing. 

Collaboration is key to the learning culture at JPMorganChase. Engineers and architects regularly come together to discuss new technologies, share best practices and brainstorm solutions to complex problems. This collaborative approach not only enhances our technical skills but also fosters a sense of community and shared purpose. The environment at JPMorganChase fosters growth, pushing us to stay ahead of industry trends while ensuring we deliver impactful solutions. Whether it’s through formal training programs or informal knowledge-sharing sessions, JPMorganChase is committed to creating a culture of learning and innovation and I’m proud to be part of this firm.
