Meet The Team
​
We believe that software development is a craft that is best learned hands on, shoulder to shoulder with those who have done it before us and that mastering those skills is not magic, but requires dedicated time, energy, and practice, and happens most effectively within a community of professionals.
​
Our master craftsmen bring decades of professional programming experience across a dozen industries to provide real world execution and practice to our program. Continuing professional practice is the norm for our mentors to keep their skills sharp and in context for real world problems.
