I'm the person on the right.

I'm Avi, so pleased to meet you!

Eight years ago I founded Flatiron School with the mission of helping people learn to love code, master the craft, and get a job. From writing the curriculum, to teaching, to developing our unique pedagogy, I loved being involved in every aspect of creating the school.

Today the school has taught over 5,000 people how to code. It changed their lives. I even helped start Kode with Klossy, a non-profit that brings technology and confidence to thousands of young women.

As you can tell I'm passionate about sharing my passions, and I love reviving a love of learning in people.
