Learn From Serious Technologists
Zach Caceres
Zach spent 15 years building startups. He's worked as founding or lead engineer of top VC-backed unicorns including Clay and Curology, Storetasker (the #1 Shopify talent marketplace), and Makesoil (the world's largest composting community). He has instructed tens of thousands of software engineers after creating The Intuitive Coder with world-renowned neuroscientist Barbara Oakley.
Zach has spoken about technical topics on 5 continents and his writing has been published in a16z's Future.com, Stripe's Work in Progress, CityLab, VICE, and Virgin's Entrepreneur magazine. He trained his first AI model in 2018. He graduated with highest honors from New York University in Philosophy and Economics.
Jerry Hsiang
Jerry brings over a decade of finance leadership experience as the former Head of Finance for several high-growth, venture-backed companies. He successfully transitioned from a finance professional to a builder at heart, recently shipping two iOS apps and a web app in under a week alongside products like ClosureMD and TomoMD.
Jerry now teaches other non-developers how to bridge the gap between high-level strategy and the technical grit required to ship functional, revenue-driving products. Jerry graduated from University of Washington in Business Administration and Finance.
We've helped real people deliver awesome software.
