My introduction to Vanguard was quite unique. As a sophomore computer science major at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, I had the opportunity to attend the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC), the largest conference for women and non-binary technologists.

I initially learned about Vanguard at a Financial Planning Club meeting while attending the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a student with a concentration in Financial Planning, I was actively pursuing a career in this field.
We recently sat down with Quentin M., a Machine Learning Engineer at Vanguard, to discuss his remarkable journey within the company. Quentin began as an intern and has since transitioned through various roles, ultimately finding his passion in AI, data science, and machine learning. In this blog, Quentin reflects on his journey, the projects that have shaped his career, the lessons learned along the way, and the core values that guide his work at Vanguard.
