Ruben Goes to Silicon Valley

March 30, 2018 by Alex Rodriguez

Code the Dream grad Ruben Cruz recently accepted a job with Silicon Valley startup Next Request… but fortunately for him he’ll only have to head to the Bay Area for occasional meetings. He’s one of their first software developer hires near his home in Durham, NC, so he’ll still be close by and able to stay involved and help mentor new Code the Dream students.

We’re excited for Ruben and wish him all the best. He recently took a couple minutes to sit down with Outreach Coordinator Jocelyn Casanova and share a little about his experience with Code the Dream and how it helped him land his first software developer position.
