Student Spotlight: Kassidy Holtzman

Justin · Jun 8, 2021

Name: Kassidy Holtzman

Where are you from? Norlina, North Carolina

What class are you in? Koi (Ruby on Rails)

How did you find out about Code the Dream? What made you want to join? My last year of college at Vance-Granville Community College my teacher Ms. Gill recommended that I sign up for the class.

When did you know you wanted to be a software developer? I loved my first Ruby on Rails class and wanted to keep taking more even while I was studying Simulation and Game Development in school.

What kinds of work were you doing before Code the Dream? I was a college student.

What has your experience been like at Code the Dream? Everyone at Code the Dream doesn’t treat it like another “job.” They are super nice and super helpful. I would recommend Code the Dream to any family member or friend.

What do you like about Code the Dream? I like that Code the Dream is remote. It makes it easier for me, especially now. Also, my questions are answered in a timely manner when I run into issues.

If you could build any app, what would it do? I’m actually working on an app now for my final project that lets people become a student at Hogwarts from Harry Potter.

“When you do get something like the motorcycle bill, where you have the old bill and the new bill, this shows a side-by-side snapshot where you can see exactly what’s changed. Discerning those changes quickly allows more time to add depth to reporting," Boughton said.
