From the newsletter: DECODED Winter 2022

Alejandra Rodriguez · Jan 31, 2022

“In Their Own Words”
CTD Alumni thank our volunteers

CTD volunteers, you were instrumental in my journey, not only in the technical aspects, but in learning how to learn, how to search, and also the soft skills, like how to prepare for an interview. Mentors were always there when I reached out, and you all offered resources and provided exactly what I needed.  Thank you so much for your time, efforts, and dedication. We know you are doing this out of the goodness of your hearts and we truly appreciate you. I pray that I can pay it forward.”

Peter Ntiamoah
Software Engineer, Tangoe

I am very grateful to CTD and Mentors and Volunteers for all the help, support, and inspiration in achieving my dream to become a software engineer! You made me believe that everything is possible with hard work. Thank you so much! Now my dream has become true and I am an Associate Software Engineer in Pathos Ethos.”

​Iuliia Shevtsova
Associate Software Engineer, Pathos Ethos

Having the opportunity to be a student of Code the Dream has totally changed my life. Two years ago I would have never imagined I would be working in a tech company such as Airbnb. Code the Dream made me feel I was part of a family, and gave me all the support I needed to succeed as a software engineer.  I want to give a big thank you to all the amazing mentors at Code the Dream, for always being so willing to share their expertise with the students, for all the patience, love for what you do, and commitment to ensure every student was going through the right path.”

​Johan Andres Ochoa
Full-Stack Software Engineer, Airbnb

"Programs like CTD are important because everyone should have access to a good education regardless of their background, faith or finances. Some students like me are passionate about coding, but unfortunately, we can't afford a boot camp." Learn more at codethedream.org/classes. pic.twitter.com/3q1vz2HRz0
