Tech Residency
Read more Read less of James Hightower's review
Tech Residency 43 was a truly transformative milestone in my journey toward becoming a software engineer. Stepping into the residency meant constantly encountering unfamiliar frameworks, ambiguous problems, and rapid iteration cycles, which initially felt overwhelming. However, under the guidance of our instructor, Elijah Jimenez, those challenges quickly turned into high-impact growth opportunities. Elijah brought an incredible mix of depth, patient mentorship, and real-world clarity to every lesson. He didn't just teach us how to write clean, maintainable code—he taught us how to think like engineers, break down complex systems, and debug with confidence and precision.Beyond the technical fundamentals, the most valuable lesson I took away from Tech Residency 43 was learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I learned to lean into uncertainty during development and treat friction as a sign of progress rather than a roadblock. A major highlight of the experience was discovering how to seamlessly integrate AI into any software project, leveraging modern LLMs and intelligent workflows to streamline development, accelerate problem-solving, and build smarter, more adaptive applications. Reflecting on the entire residency, I’m coming out with not just a stronger technical foundation, but the mindset and momentum needed to thrive anywhere in the tech industry. -

Overcoming the Intimidation
Read more Read less of Mary Fobbs-Guillory's review
I’ve been curious about coding for many years but was always too intimidated to try. The fear of failure felt overwhelming, and imposter syndrome made the idea of switching careers seem impossible. Taking the leap and enrolling in Coding Temple was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but also one of the most transformative. I learned so much, pushed through challenges I never thought I could handle, and came out with skills I never imagined myself having. Still, even after graduating, the imposter syndrome didn’t magically disappear — and that’s where the career coaches, Jael and Ellijah, have made an enormous difference.Jael’s workshops on interview strategies and LinkedIn optimization were incredibly helpful, and her personalized career search plans have genuinely reinvigorated my job search. She helped me see my strengths clearly and reminded me that I do belong in this field. Her guidance has renewed my hope that I can find the right role and thrive in it.Ellijah’s portfolio reviews and his support throughout the Tech Residency have been equally impactful. Learning new tools, improving my workflow, and understanding how to collaborate effectively with a team have all helped me feel more prepared to enter a new industry with confidence. The weekly reports built into the program — which both Jael and Ellijah review — also keep me accountable and focused, which has been essential during this transition.Their patience, consistency, and genuine investment in my growth have meant more than I can express. I’m deeply grateful for the support they’ve provided. It has truly made all the difference. -

Just finished the year-long software engineering residency at Coding Temple and I can't say enough good things about it. The program is the real deal. We worked on an actual production mobile app for an oil services company with real stakeholders, real deadlines, and a real team. By the end of the residency I had built out features touching React Native, Flask, Postgres, AI integration with Gemini and Claude, biometric authentication, GPS proximity verification, and offline-first sync. Nothing toy about any of it.Ellijah, Justin and Sara were a huge part of why this worked. As a teachers and mentors they were incredible support throughout the entire program. Patient with the harder concepts, sharp on code review feedback, and always available when something blocked the team. They treat students like teammates, which is exactly the energy you want when you're learning to work on real codebases.Highly recommend Coding Temple to anyone serious about transitioning into software engineering. The depth is there if you put in the work. -

My experience in the Coding Temple Tech Residency was genuinely great. The program gave me real hands‑on exposure to how an engineering team actually works — daily standups, agile workflows, stakeholder meetings & collaborating as a team to build a full application from start to finish. It pushed me to grow not just technically but in communication, problem‑solving & working in a fast‑moving environment.
I also want to highlight how supportive the leadership was throughout the residency. Ellijah Jimenez, our project manager, played a huge role in keeping us organized, motivated & confident. He always made sure we understood expectations, guided us through challenges & helped us stay aligned with the project goals. His mentorship made a big impact on my growth!
Austin Carlson, our intern, was also incredibly helpful. He was always available if we needed clarification, had questions, or just needed someone to walk through something with us. Having both of them there made the whole experience feel supportive & collaborative.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this residency to anyone looking for real‑world experience, a strong team environment & mentors who genuinely care about your success! -

The API challenges throughout the program pushed me to think critically and solve complex problems independently.
What truly sets Coding Temple apart is the caliber of their instructors. They are not just teachers—they are experienced developers who offer meaningful career guidance beyond coding. Their expertise in deployment technologies like GitHub, Vercel, and PowerShell gave me confidence in shipping production-ready applications. The support I received was outstanding, with instructors always available to clarify concepts and provide feedback on my projects.
The hands-on backend skills I acquired were invaluable. I gained deep expertise in REST API development, Flask framework, and database design principles. The admin dashboard project taught me about role-based access control and data management, while the onboarding flows and analytics dashboard projects enhanced my full-stack capabilities. These projects now showcase beautifully in my portfolio at github.com/growthwithcoding.
The community and networking opportunities exceeded my expectations. Through Disco and LinkedIn, I connected with fellow students and alumni, creating lasting professional relationships. The LinkedIn networking strategies and career preparation sessions provided practical guidance for launching my freelance and full-time career prospects.
Coding Temple equipped me with an impressive portfolio of deployed applications and the confidence to tackle any development challenge. The program's focus on both technical excellence and career preparation made me job-ready from day one. I wholeheartedly recommend Coding Temple to anyone serious about launching a career in software development. -

Coding Temple has taught me the necessary skills to become a software engineer, covering topics ranging from backend to frontend development in depth. The curriculum has introduced me to new, more advanced code writing while enhancing my prior knowledge. Instructors such as Yessica Sosa and Allen Ahmed are calm and informative, ready to answer any questions you have and guide you to the solution.
Taking off one star for errors in the specialization sections' lessons, there are missing parts of the code and sometimes incorrect instructions, requiring me to go outside the curriculum for explanations.
Overall, small errors in the course do not take away from the knowledge gained and the skills to change your career! -

As someone from a completely non-technical background, I was extremely nervous to begin my journey into the world of data analytics. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to keep up or understand the concepts—but Coding Temple completely changed that for me.From day one, the course was structured in a way that made learning feel approachable and manageable. The support and guidance I received were beyond anything I expected. Every staff member was encouraging, patient, and always willing to help, no matter how small the question. A special thank you to my success manager, Nirmila Thurpati, who played a key role in building my confidence. Her constant support, check-ins, and positive attitude made a huge difference. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to Coding Temple, what once felt like an intimidating path has become an exciting and empowering journey.

Hi Neha,
I can’t tell you how much we appreciate this. Not just because it’s kind (which it is), but because we know how intimidating it can be to dive into something that feels completely out of your element - and you did it anyway!The way you talk about your experience, your growth, the people who supported you, especially Nirmila (who, let’s be honest, is an absolute legend) - it’s a reminder of why we do this in the first place. I did notice we didn’t quite earn a full five stars on job assistance. Totally understand, and if you’re open to sharing more, I'd love to hear what could’ve made that piece stronger. You can email me anytime at rutak@codingtemple.com or speak directly with your Expert - whichever’s easier. We’re always looking to improve. Keep in touch and let us know how things go from here - we’re rooting for you!
Best of luck,

If you're open to it, I’d love to hear more about what you think we could improve. You’re welcome to reach out to me directly at rutak@codingtemple.com - we’re always looking for ways to get better, and your feedback would mean a lot. Wishing you the best as you move forward - and remember, we’re always here if you need anything!Ruta Kuisyte

A truly pleasant experience

I joined Coding Temple in November 2024 for the Software Engineering track. I can say without a doubt it was worth every cent. From flexible payment options, to the instructors and constant events. I felt like there was always something going on that I could join and hop into to get involved. Yes the course work is a bit difficult at first but there is more than enough support to reach out for help and guidance and additional teaching and coaching. My only regret is not taking advantage of the resources more due to my busy schedule with a full time job. If I could I would do it all over again and dedicate more time to the taking part in events and trainings.
I want to take a moment to shout out specifically David Kidd and Dylan Katina. Both instructors we amazing and a great help. If you do attend coding temple try to get your self in their classes.Ripal Patel of Coding Temple

I had an incredible experience with Coding Temple’s Software Engineering program! As someone new to tech, I learned so much in a short time, building a personal portfolio and a Match Card Game that boosted my front-end skills with JavaScript and CSS. The support staff—especially the instructors and 1-on-1 tutors—were amazing, always going above and beyond with guidance and encouragement, even outside class hours. Highly recommend this program to anyone looking to launch a tech career!Ruta of Coding Temple

Don’t waste your time

I completed the self paced course in late 2023 and I enjoyed my time learning new skills and working with great instructors and tutors. I felt supported and encouraged during the course and there were tutors readily available to help. Once I completed the course this completely changed. I had to reach out multiple times to get transitioned into the alumni slack and once I was in there it took weeks and multiple forms before I could meet with someone to look over my resume and my LinkedIn. Once I got a meeting schedule the person I worked with was a tremendous help but he told me he was leaving CT at the end of the month and I would not have to fill out another form again and someone on the alumni side would reach out. Weeks went by and nothing happened, again multiple forms and sitting around waiting to hear back. The next person to reach out to me then proceeded to tell me I had to change everything I just spent the last month working on with the previous career employee. I became extremely frustrated and felt abandoned during my post graduate experience and job search and decided to abandon a career in software development because of this. The career side seems understaffed and I couldn’t get consistent help over the span of 6 months, while there were some resources available I felt they were not worth the money I paid and it didn’t match the personalized help I was promised I would receive when we went through orientation. If you’re looking for a bootcamp I recommend to find one that doesn’t collect any payment until a job is secured or else you may find yourself in my situation with empty promises.Ruta Kuisyte of Coding Temple

My experience with Coding Temple and their Software Engineering course was wonderful. I was new to coding prior to taking this course and I was able to easily understand and implement all the concepts covered. After finishing the back end specialization, I feel confident I have the skills required to find a job using everything I learned at Coding Temple. Dylan Katina was very helpful in teaching me how to troubleshoot errors in my code, as well as putting together very easy to understand course materials.Ruta of Coding Temple

Coding Temple was an incredible experience that gave me a solid foundation in both front-end and back-end development. Learning Flask and backend concepts was eye-opening, and the hands-on projects made everything click. The front-end curriculum was just as strong, covering modern frameworks and best practices. Donovan was absolutely amazing—his patience, clarity, and willingness to help made a huge difference in my learning. Whether it was debugging, explaining complex topics, or offering career advice, he always went above and beyond. I highly recommend Coding Temple to anyone looking to break into tech!

What really stood out was the community at Coding Temple. The collaborative environment fostered a sense of camaraderie among students and staff, creating a supportive network that went beyond the classroom. I have graduated and this is still continuing day in and day out. Once your Alumni they still are just as supportive and about helping you grow as an individual. It’s truly amazing. -

Overall Experience from my perspective.

Coding Temple has been a life-changing experience. The program is challenging, but the support system is incredible. With Slack, email, Zoom, and Discord, there was always a way to get help. Screen sharing made it easy to solve complex problems in real-time.The instructors’ availability was truly unmatched. Mr. Peck's patience while teaching backend core concepts made an enormous difference in my learning. Similarly, Ms. Mehner’s dedication to staying after class to dive deeper into frontend concepts ensured I fully understood every detail.My main focus was backend development, and Mr. Katina was instrumental in that journey. His calm demeanor and encouragement replaced my initial anxiety with confidence. He consistently reminded me that I was progressing further than I realized—and he was absolutely right! His ability to break down complex ideas and create a comfortable learning environment was outstanding.The curriculum, hands-on projects, and tech residency simulated a real-world work environment, making the transition from student to professional seamless. Coding Temple not only equipped me with technical skills but also helped me grow personally and professionally.Thank you, Coding Temple, for the guidance, support, and encouragement that have set me up for success as a Software Engineer. I’m grateful for this life-changing experience! -

This program changed my life!

I decided to change careers at the ripe age of 47. Attending Coding Temple was by far the best experience I’ve ever had compared to the other professional career schools I’ve attended. I didn't feel that this was a typical, cookie-cutter program.
I made a ton of friends that I still talk to and collaborate with. The program was flexible with my schedule and I never had to figure things out alone. We all worked as a team, building really cool projects and by the time I graduated, I had a portfolio of cybersecurity projects to show to potential employers.
At graduation, I felt job ready. I also earned my CompTIA Security+ Certification. I think this 'cert' made me stand out, along with the 9 other certificates I received because as soon as I posted it on my LinkedIn profile and started applying for jobs, I started getting interviews... which brings me to the next point and maybe the most important point.
I graduated in one of the worst 'tech job applicant markets the world had ever seen' lol ... However, CT had reverse recruiters helping me with everything job related. As everyone else on LinkedIn was complaining that they were not getting noticed by employers, I was. I didn't say too much in public because I knew that a lot of folks were really struggling out there in the job market and tooting my own horn would have caused negative emotions.
Then it came down to 3 employers that offered me a job. One of them was toxic. One paid $$$ but would have required much more time than I wanted to give... but the one I really wanted checked off 3 of the 4 boxes on my vision board and that's the one I chose. So not only did I get hired but I got to choose the company I wanted to work for and here's the kicker!... They initially reached out to me first! I shit you not!
The total time from day 1 of the starting the program and not even knowing what an IP address was until I was hired was exactly 7 months. I didn't start paying for the program until I was hired.
Long story short, this was a wonderful and fun experience, and I recommend that anyone who wants to change their life, go for it! I don't want to leave a review without also leaving the full story. They were expensive and I didn't have the money at the time. I looked at all of the other programs and saw that a few of them were cheaper. Then I started digging and found out why. My dad gave me a lot of advice in life and one of them is, "In life, you get what you pay for." -

Lifechanging for the best!

When I first began researching coding bootcamps, I was a little unsure about which one to choose as there are so many of them out there. I ultimately chose Coding Temple because of positive student reviews, career services, and the tech residency program. It was a rigorous, but incredibly rewarding course that has brought me so far ahead from when I first started learning about coding. The classes are well taught, and the instructors truly go out of their way to help the students both by meeting 1 on 1 as well as hosting workshops to teach interview practice tips. Many of the instructors have made a positive impact on me including, but not limited to, Travis, Sarah, Grayson, Daniel, and Yessica. The tech residency program, while intense, it was an incredible experience that taught me about how to build an app with a team and meet deadlines. What I learned during the tech residency could not have been learned without participating in the program. Enrolling in the software engineering bootcamp at Coding Temple was one of the best decisions I ever made! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to enroll in a coding bootcamp. You will not regret it! -

The first time I called them I thought they were a scam LOL but then they started to explain what they were all about and everything began to sink in. I hope everyone who reads this that are thinking about going this career route has an opportunity to talk to them and check out what an amazing school they are. They will help you throughout the whole program, is not a moment that are going to feel alone. This is a life-changing decision and they would make it fun and dynamic to learn it and be part of the experience. BTW I hate writing reviews but they deserve every word and this would change everyone's lives. -

I just graduated from a part-time software engineering class, Thieves 139, and it was one of the most enriching educational experiences I’ve had. The class, led by Dylan and Christian, was outstanding. Their teaching style was exceptional—clear, engaging, and particularly effective in making complex topics easily understandable. Dylan and Christian's approach was not only interactive but also incredibly supportive, encouraging continuous learning and fostering cohort unity. The class was both informative and fun, making it a standout experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their software engineering skills under the guidance of inspiring instructors. -

Spectacular Instructors, Fun to Learn

I will wholeheartedly recommend this bootcamp to anyone reading this review. I had a hobbyist background in coding knowledge, and the amount I learned in 12 weeks was quite frankly astounding. My instructors Christian and Dylan were an integral part in making my experience so exceptional. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, excellent at communicating concepts and laying out the logic behind what we were doing, and didn't hesitate if you needed additional help grasping a concept or were stuck on a tricky issue. They're also just both friendly and personable people who made class enjoyable.
A word of advice if you do take this class. Take the amount of time you think you'll need to invest and double it. You get as much out of this program as you put into it, and the time investment required to do well in the class is substantial. The curriculum is fairly fast-paced, and if you don't fully grasp a concept you may find it difficult to understand future concepts. Thankfully, like I mentioned Christian and Dylan did a wonderful job of both explaining initially, and assisting if you don't understand something.
If you're like me and you've tried to do self-paced classes a few times and burned out, then this is the course for you. They will push you to further your knowledge, and I am very grateful I decided to take the plunge and take this bootcamp.
