“You don’t need a traditional tech background”

—Christina Caljé

One of the biggest misconceptions about the tech industry is that everyone started coding at age twelve.

Christina Caljé challenged that idea.

She shared that she doesn’t come from a computer science background herself, yet she has built multiple technology-focused companies. Her journey into tech started with curiosity and a desire to solve problems.

Understanding the problem you want to solve can be just as powerful as understanding the technology itself.

For people considering a career switch into tech, her message was simple:
‘You don’t need to know everything at the start’.

Curiosity, resilience, and adaptability can take you much further than you might think.
