“I have been an instructor in multiple industries, US Navy, banking, payroll systems, managed IT, and now software development. My joy comes from seeing students come to that “fist pump” moment where a lecture becomes clear. That excitement is contagious and I want every student to experience that joy. That “joy”, will lead many to a rewarding career in the tech industry. As a veteran, I want to find a way to give back to the veteran community Code-Fusion, along with the strong partnership with Code Fellows, will provide that opportunity to not only veterans, but individuals from all backgrounds.” — Roger Huba, CEO of Code-Fusion
