When Engineering Meets Healthcare: A Story of Unexpected Turns Remember when a career change meant taking a step back? Ayon Shahed didn't get that memo. After moving to Newfoundland and Labrador with 30 days of credit card debt and no job, he found his sweet spot: using his engineering brain to solve healthcare headaches. Now at Branch Innovations, he's helping patients get home sooner and healthcare workers work smarter.

A few weeks ago I attended a student networking session hosted by techNL 🥳 This wasn't your typical career fair where you stand at a booth and hope someone comes over to talk to you. techNL hosted a "speed dating" session where students came to our table and had 8 minutes to ask questions and connect. At the end of the 8 minutes, the timer went off, and a new group of students came over. It was a great way to meet students, hear their stories, and share more on what it's like to work at CoLab Software. Thanks techNL for hosting a great session! #Networking #Recruitment #CoLabSoftware
