Ashley Naranjo and Martin Bajana, members of MongoDB's employee resource group QueLatine, share their unique journeys into the tech industry and the challenges they faced, such as imposter syndrome and the need for inclusive work environments. Naranjo shifted from nursing to tech, driven by a passion for IT and problem-solving, securing an internship at Meta and later joining MongoDB to drive technological innovation. Bajana's early interest in video games and technology led him to study computer science and work at Verizon before transitioning to MongoDB, where he values diverse and inclusive workplace environments. Both emphasize the importance of continuous learning, networking, and self-belief for Latine individuals aspiring to enter tech. Meanwhile, MongoDB's leadership transition is highlighted as Dev Ittycheria announces his retirement as CEO, effective November 2025, with Chirantan "CJ" Desai set to succeed him. This change is framed as a strategic move for MongoDB's continued evolution and growth, leveraging CJ's extensive experience in scaling technology companies.
