Instructors
Hi! I'm Colt. I'm a developer with a serious love for teaching. I've spent the last few years teaching people to program at 2 different immersive bootcamps where I've helped hundreds of people become web developers and change their lives. My graduates work at companies like Google, Salesforce, and Square.
Most recently, I led Galvanize's SF's 6 month immersive program as Lead Instructor and Curriculum Director. After graduating from my class, 94% of my students went on to receive full-time developer roles. I also worked at Udacity as a Senior Course Developer on the web development team where I got to reach thousands of students daily.
I’ve since focused my time on bringing my classroom teaching experience to an online environment. In 2016 I launched my Web Developer Bootcamp course, which has since gone on to become one of the best selling and top rated courses on Udemy. I was also voted Udemy’s Best New Instructor of 2016.
I've spent years figuring out the "formula" to teaching technical skills in a classroom environment, and I'm really excited to finally share my expertise with you. I can confidently say that my online courses are without a doubt the most comprehensive ones on the market.
Join me on this crazy adventure!
Hi! I'm Elie and I’m passionate about education and web development. I've spend the past three years as a Lead Instructor at multiple coding schools before co-founding Rithm School. Before Rithm School, I co-taught with Colt Steele at Galvanize's SF's 6 month immersive program as a Lead Instructor.
As a self-taught developer, I’ve experienced firsthand the professional and personal growth that comes with learning how to code. I’m happiest when I’m learning new technologies and teaching students how to code, and I’m excited to play a part in helping them change their careers and lives for the better. My graduates work at LinkedIn, Google, and Salesforce, and many more.
Hi! I'm Tim and I'm passionate about teaching. I’ve loved working with students since my days as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Georgia Tech. Over the past 4 years, I've had the opportunity to work with hundreds of students as a coding bootcamp instructor and this past year, I co-founded Rithm School with Elie Schoppik and Matt Lane to focus on small class sizes and rigorous course work. I'm excited to bring all of my teaching experiences to Udemy students.
Before my life as a bootcamp instructor, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science from UC Riverside and Georgia Tech respectively. Right after school, I joined the development team at Amazon and spent five years there. By the time I left, I was a lead developer for Kindle’s Cloud Reader.
I’ve been involved in teaching and education for more than ten years. While a graduate student at UCLA I taught hundreds of budding engineers, and after completing my Ph.D. in 2012 I joined a company that supported middle and high school math teachers with great lesson materials. During this time I transitioned into web development, and in 2015 I joined Galvanize as a Web Development Instructor. After about a year, I cofounded Rithm along with Elie and Tim. In my spare time, I enjoy writing; my first book, Power-Up: Unlocking the Hidden Mathematics in Video Games, was released by Princeton University Press in 2017.
