Meet Santiago
Santiago already had working knowledge of Solidity and JavaScript, built up on his own out of genuine interest in blockchain technology. Wanting to sharpen those skills and get a real edge in the field, he enrolled in Metana's bootcamp in February 2023.
Santiago's Journey
He put in roughly 20 hours a week for three to four months, moving from beginner to advanced-level Solidity and blockchain development through the structured curriculum — leaning on Metana's community and mentors along the way rather than grinding through it solo.
A Big Win
The effort paid off before he'd even finished: Santiago landed a Developer Relations role on the Web3.js team at ChainSafe, in Colombia — proof, on this page's framing, that the skills translate directly to market value.
