Finance undergrad with FRM, CFA. Where to begin with programming?

Hey guys. I am currently an undergrad student and wanted some insights on how to enter the S&T domain. Background: pursuing BBA (Finance). Cleared 1 level of GARP FRM. Also appearing for CFA L1, soon. Strong finance base. Been above average at math, but not "I stood first in the Chinese math Olympiad" strong. Though I don't have zero programming knowledge and experience. Which languages do I need to build upon for getting into S&T?
