Who We Are

Two people wearing matching Yellow Tail Tech shirts, smiling and standing together against a white background.

Jubee & Paloma Vilceus

CEO & Co-Founder of Yellow Tail Tech

Paloma was our customer number one.

 

She didn’t have tech experience or a clear path—just a goal and a lot of questions. So we built the answers together: one step at a time, focusing on the right skills.

 

That process shaped everything we do at Yellow Tail Tech.

 

We know what it’s like to start from scratch, and we built our training to guide people through it—with clarity, structure, and real support.This isn’t theory.

 

It’s what worked—for Paloma, and for hundreds more since.

The BEST decision ever was for me to not go into a STEM master's program and instead break into tech and to do it with Yellow Tail Tech.

Yellowtail Tech is an excellent choice if you’re serious about transitioning into the tech field and are tired of doing everything yourself. When you enroll, you’ll join a supportive community of dedicated professionals who genuinely want to see you succeed. When you’re feeling stuck or unsure, you won’t be alone. A quick reach-out to your classmates or TAs usually leads to honest advice and a helping hand. It’s a place where hard work is valued, and genuine support is always available.
