From no-code and low-code solutions to fully custom builds, Shopify supports merchants at every stage of their journey.

June 2017 - November 2018 Lead Trainer
Coder Academy trained junior developers through an intensive six-month coding bootcamp.

Students learned algorithms, programming fundamentals, and Ruby before moving on to HTML, CSS, and Rails. The second half of the course covered vanilla JavaScript, Node.js, and React.

The course placed a strong focus on developer workflows, pair programming, and soft skills to ensure students were job-ready.

We taught students how to learn and aimed to make ourselves redundant by the end of the course.
