About Event

Breaking into tech can feel confusing and overwhelming. With so many tools, frameworks, and career paths, it is hard to know where to start and how to actually stand out.

In this session, Yurii Tovarnytskyi, a student founder and builder based in Chicago, will share his journey from learning to code to working with a YC-backed startup, becoming a CTO at an early-stage company, and participating in multiple hackathons as both a winner and a judge.

Yurii is currently building Aximon, an AI platform focused on making coding education more personalized and practical.

In this talk, we will cover:

• How beginners can start learning tech in 2026
• What actually helps you stand out to startups
• Lessons from working inside early stage startups
• Hackathons, building projects, and learning faster
• Practical advice for students and aspiring builders

Whether you are just starting out, exploring tech careers, or looking to break into startups, this session will give you practical insights on how to move forward.
