My name is Billy Kaufman. I’m a self-taught programmer, and I was lucky to start my career at Gretrix.

Before working with Gretrix, I was doing my best to build experience in IT, but my lack of experience was blocking my ability to get consistent work. I didn’t have 3 to 5 years of professional experience or a Computer Science degree, so I already knew that I was at a critical disadvantage in the competitive job market. I applied to dozens of jobs and I was confident in my abilities, but no one wanted to give me a chance.

Gretrix was the exception. They could tell that I was inexperienced, but could feel that I was passionate about my work and driven to succeed. My efforts at Gretrix were recognized by the executive team, and they helped me build my career in the direction that I wanted.

I would absolutely recommend Gretrix for anyone interested working in tech. This company is growing FAST and you will be appreciated!

My name is Colten Warnock. I started working here in 2021 at the talent of my junior year.

Before Gretrix, I was looking for internships the whole year of 2021, and I was really struggling. A lot of companies weren’t hiring. They didn’t have the excess capital or they weren’t willing to take the risk.

Eventually, I was able to get an interview with JT. JT came in and we had a bit of small talk. Right before we were about to start the interview, JT says “You look great, but I just want to let you know that we’re not like that. This isn’t what we do here at Gretrix, so I’ll give you five minutes to change into something a bit more  comfortable.”

I think that was just a little microcosm of the personailty and heart of JT. He’s one of the biggest reasons why I’ve stayed here so long.
