I teach by building, focusing on clean code, practical workflows, and real projects. From Git and testing to AI tools like Claude, I help students code smarter and think like product-minded engineers.

Anyone can spin up a chatbot, but confidently breaking down how an app works end-to-end is a game-changer.

Nick RoukeDirector of Digital Content & Marketing at OBT

The support was present, effective, and helped me go from novice to building real automation tools in weeks!

This bootcamp made coding approachable. Within two weeks, I built a real automation app my team actually uses, thanks to practical lessons, engaging sessions, and strong instructor support.

Yvonne MüllerSr Project Consultant, Guido Schilling Ag

Well-organized, practical, and intense in the best way possible!

The instructor’s real-world examples and proactive support made even complex AI topics easy to follow. I loved hands-on, structured sessions — perfect for a working professional like me. I came out with confidence, curiosity, and real AI skills I can use. I’d definitely join again — it’s a solid 9/10!

The bootcamp helped me transition into web development, build a strong portfolio, and become job-ready.

The Codecademy Pro access alongside the bootcamp was a game-changer for me. I could attend the structured classes and then dive deeper into the topics on my own time with Pro, which really helped me grasp the more challenging concepts.
