Kerrin Gillis
Experience Engineer
As an instructor I really enjoy mentoring students in the skills they need for the field of software engineering. It’s amazing to see their progress as they grow! Outside of teaching I’ll often play a variety of RPG and VR games, trying to find new hiking trails, or taking our cats for walks in the yard.
Dan Pickett
Co-Founder
Developer developer. When not mentoring or coding, he's usually playing with his three kids or two doggos. You might also catch him in a hockey rink or behind a drum kit.
“It was a judgment free-zone;
I felt zero shame if I couldn’t get my head around a certain programming concept.
There were no 'dumb' questions. Our mentors (who are geniuses in my eyes) never made it feel like they were above us.”
