About Cohort 17
We came, we conquered, we clearfix!
We are the largest bootcamp cohort to have pass through the halls of HackerYou. We come from different walks of life and studies. Through the amazing stewardship of HackerYou, we bonded over the sheer number of hours coded by our entire cohort - an average of 300hrs per person for the duration of nine intensive weeks of immersive web development.
We laughed. We adhered to the international 3:34pm coffee break standard. We ate pizzas. We drank beers and wines on Fridays. We pushed ourselves to our limits so that we can become amazing web developers.
Congratulations Cohort 17! We made it!

You know that you've been schooled by Ryan when you recognize his infectious laughter and watch him one hand clap. He is a fountain of coding knowledge.
Sylvia Nguyen
Lead Instructor
Effervescent and fun, Sylvia makes learning to code into fun and play. We also found out that she is an amazing singer.
Danny Paton

Danny's take aways will always remain with us. His happy and helpful words of wisdom helped us throughout bootcamp.
Melissa Carter
Designer
Melissa has her quicky and quick come backs that will make you want to know more about what she thinks of your projects and work.
Kristen Spencer
Lead Instructor, Web Development
It is no small feat to explain JavaScript in a just-JS way. Kristen has a way of explaining code that just makes so much sense to all of us.
Sarah Hamdi
Lead Instructor, Web Development
Sarah may be grading and watching our codes meticulously but she is also a pillar of strenght and support.
Christopher Miller
Program + Logistics Manager
How does he keep track of us and still make each of us feel like we have his full attention? Christopher's innate ability to care and make sure everything runs smoothly will not be amissed.
Brandon Keen
Marketing Coordinator
His one liners are exact and perfect. Perhaps also one of the funniest staff at HackerYou.
Sam Low-Chappell
Admissions Coordinator
A quiet but intergral behind the scene. His constant encouragements and positivity brings light to our nine weeks of bootcamp.
Tarra Joshi
Office Manager
She wields the power of what is kept inside the refrigerator. Her knowledge of all us is astounding.
Dug the Pug
Food Seeker
Ah Dug, the one pug, eating machine. We love him because he's like a sausage but more like a meatball. No bark will come out of him but you'll know he's following you if you hear his heavy breathing. He's a foodie through and through.
Leo
Teddy Bear
The sweetest labradoodle ever to enter the halls of HackerYou. It is just a joy to see Leo wander in and out of classrooms.
