Student Stories
Dominique Clarke
Domique recently gave up her job as a community manager at Zip Code Wilmington and headed for Dallas. Why? To attend DevMountain! "I would have attended Zip Code as a student," says Clarke, "but Zip Code focuses mostly on backend development. I knew I wanted to be a front end developer so I searched for programs across the country that focused on JavaScript and settled on DevMountain." While at DevMountain, she created Lalela, a music discovery app, as well as HikeScore, an app that was designed for exploring the outdoors. Since graduation, Dominique has helped bring Girl Develop It to Wilmington, and taught it's first class.
Tiafau Purcell
Was attending an online university, quit because it was "too slow, too expensive." Lost his part-time job halfway through the course, by the end of the course he had a full-time job paying double his previous salary. He's now back to further his skills in the after-hours iOS class.
Alden Aikele
After his father passed away, he inherited his father's roofing business in a slumping economy. Once he sold the roofing business and with no technical skill, he was accepted to completed DevMountain and returned to the Bay Area to get a job with ZenDesk.
Barbara Liau
She served in the military for several years, she decided she wanted to change her career path and came to DevMountain. While she was here she had to decide if she was going to re-sign to do another 4 years with the military or not. She decided to take the path of a developer and officially let go of her military ties. Barbara now works for a Park City company called Snow Logic, making snow for ski resorts in a smarter way. Snow Logic came to a DevMountain hiring event and now Barbara is developing the software for ski resort snow guns, skis down the slopes and determines where she needs to build the software to shoot more snow. Super cool.
Gabe Guerrero
He was the kid who did a selfie a day on his mission that the press picked up and went viral. He decided to come to DevMountain instead of doing a traditional 4-year degree that was "long and expensive". He has a fun ability to market himself and did that through going through our program and getting a great job as an IOS developer. He was a 20-year-old with no post high school education, decided to try an alternative approach through DevMountain and is making great money. He is very personable and great for interviewing.
James Pacheco
For many, getting a job at Goldman Sachs — One of the country’s most prominent global investment banking, securities and investment management firms — would be a dream come true. For James Pacheco, one of our current students enrolled in the iOS immersive development course, it wasn’t enough. James got a 1 of 3 spot job as a private equity analyst at Goldman Sachs after obtaining a degree in Economics. Although he liked his job and the opportunities it gave him, he felt like something was missing. He wanted a bigger challenge and made a decision some might consider foolish. He quit his job and decided to enroll in DevMountain. He is about a month away from graduating.
