About Chasing Cloud Careers

We're two self-taught engineers who transitioned into tech from non-traditional backgrounds. Now we help others do the same by curating the best free learning resources into structured paths.

Our Story

From self-taught beginnings to helping others find their path in tech

We both came to tech through unconventional paths. Without computer science degrees, we taught ourselves the skills needed to transition into engineering roles. The journey wasn't easy—we spent countless hours searching through scattered resources, trying to piece together coherent learning paths.

Our self-taught journeys taught us that the resources are out there—they just need to be organized in a way that makes sense for career development. That's exactly what we set out to do.

Our Mission

Help others self-teach by providing curated, structured learning paths using completely free resources.

We believe that quality tech education should be accessible to everyone. By organizing the best free resources into clear learning paths, we're removing barriers that prevent people from successfully transitioning into tech careers.
