Career decision platform

TechPathU

A technology-career platform that evolved from information publishing toward pathway planning, comparisons, certifications, bootcamp research, and a Pathway Finder that connects the site’s information into a decision journey.

Evolution

From version to current state

Information problem

Career, certification, bootcamp, and pathway research could easily become a pile of disconnected tabs.

Architecture

Connect starting point, target career, pathway, skills, investment, and next move.

Pathway Finder

Use background, target lane, and realistic budget to organize a practical route through the site.

Current state

A connected career-decision system combining pathways, certifications, bootcamps, comparisons, and tools.

What this project demonstrates

Build decisions, not just screenshots

Turn broad technology-career information into a connected decision path from a person’s starting point to a realistic next move. The useful evidence is in the decisions, the changes, the failures, and the next steps. This page is the evergreen map; the journal entries below preserve the chronological record.

What Do You Actually Do After "Learn to Code"?

Every tech-career site will tell you bootcamps exist. Almost none of them will tell you which one fits your actual budget, timeline, and starting point. Building TechPathU meant sitting in that gap on purpose.

Building something in this space? This project is a real example of the kind of architecture and decision-support work I take on for client builds — not a template, structured around what the actual business needs.
