Those are fields that one wouldn’t usually associate with tech! What spurred you to make the switch?

And what steps did you take to prepare for a role in tech and position yourselves as suitable candidates?

Many of our readers are curious about what it’s like working in GovTech. Can you share more about life as a GovTechie?
