Getting a Coding Job For Dummies®

About the Author

Nikhil Abraham worked for two years at Codecademy.com, where he helped companies in sectors such as technology, finance, media, and advertising teach their employees how to code. With no previous coding experience, thousands of marketing, sales, and recruiting professionals wrote their first lines of code and built functional applications. In addition to teaching, he has helped recruit developers for Codecademy, and found jobs for people who learned to code on the Codecademy platform.

Prior to Codecademy, Nikhil worked in a variety of fields including management consulting, investment banking, and law, and he also founded a Y-Combinator–backed technology education startup. He received a JD and MBA from The University of Chicago, and a BA in Quantitative Economics from Tufts University.

Nikhil lives in Manhattan, New York.
