In this episode, Shiv sits down with Gurjinder Toor, a first gen Punjabi American from the University of Houston. We will dive into his experiences pursuing a degree in Psychology and then pivoting into the fascinating world of computer science.

Gurjinder will share his insights on how he was able to leverage his psychology background to excel in computer science and how he overcame the initial challenges of transitioning to a technical field without a technical background. Shiv and Gurjinder will also discuss the importance of making the most of your undergraduate experience, from diversifying your classes to strategically selecting coursework.
