Austin Professionals Who Leveled Up
Real results from real students. See how CodeForge Academy helped Austin professionals transform their careers.
Maria transitioned from a marketing role to a full-time data analyst position in just 5 months after completing the bootcamp. She credits the real-world case studies with Austin data for making her portfolio stand out.
James had zero coding experience when he enrolled. The AI mentor caught his mistakes in real-time, and the structured curriculum kept him accountable. He got his first offer 3 months after finishing.
Already a software engineer, Sofia used the bootcamp to pivot into ML. The career coaching package helped her nail interviews at Austin startups and landed her a role well above her target.
Loved by Austin Professionals
Do not just take our word for it. Here is what our students say about their CodeForge Academy experience.
"CodeForge Academy completely changed my career trajectory. The Python Fundamentals course was exactly what I needed — structured, practical, and the AI mentor caught every mistake I made before it became a bad habit."

The Data Science Bootcamp is phenomenal. Weekly live sessions kept me accountable, the curriculum was rigorous but accessible, and the career coaching added afterward was the cherry on top. Got hired at Indeed.
I tried three other online platforms before CodeForge. Nothing compared to the quality of instruction and real support here. The community is incredibly active and the instructors actually respond.
Built by People Who Actually Care
Ryan Kim
Founder & Lead Instructor
Ryan spent over a decade as a senior software engineer at companies including Oracle and two Austin-based startups before founding CodeForge Academy in 2021. Frustrated by the gap between what bootcamps teach and what employers actually need, he built CodeForge from scratch around one principle: real skills, real projects, real outcomes.
Today, Ryan leads curriculum design and mentors students personally across all programs. He is passionate about the Austin tech ecosystem and partners directly with local companies to keep the curriculum relevant and the job pipeline active.
When he is not teaching, Ryan speaks at Austin tech meetups, contributes to open-source Python libraries, and mentors underrepresented founders through Capital Factory.
