Hear from our Alumni
EBUKA EGBUNAM
SWE Intern, Google (STEP)
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
“I think the biggest motivator for me is seeing my friends and my family achieve less than they can, even when they put in more work. I don’t want to see that happen anymore.”
ANTONELLA AVOGADRO
Incoming Software Engineering Intern, Microsoft
Florida International University
“I've received so much support as a woman and as an immigrant from organizations like CodePath, and from groups of women in computer science in school, that I see how much value there is in that. And I feel badly for the ones who don't get to experience it.”
CARLOS CHAVEZ
Software Development Intern, Workday (SITE)
Florida International University
“Since I was just getting started with Computer Science, and just breaking into tech, I was nervous about even getting an internship. I was having doubts because almost everyone is younger than me, but after the internship, I feel more confident. I am able to explain things that I learned to other people, which is something I really enjoyed getting from the program.”

VLADIMIR FEDOROV
CodePath Board Member
Former Senior Vice President, Privacy Engineering & Product, Meta
“CodePath opens doors for so many underrepresented students who have the impression that a career in tech is an unattainable goal. I am excited to play a role in helping the organization achieve its ambitious—and crucially important—mission to support a more diverse group of computer science students and software engineers.”
CARIN TAYLOR
Chief Diversity Officer, Workday
“By partnering with CodePath, we’re able to further support our commitment to increase the recruitment, hiring, and advancement of underrepresented talent, while valuing inclusion, belonging, and equity for all.”
RAUL MOAS
Senior Director, Knight Foundation
“Miamians are talented, full of grit and determination. Increasingly, they seek to bring those attributes to careers in tech. By investing in CodePath, we are investing in the aspirations of Miamians and key educational institutions which enable our community to succeed.”
KRISTEN TITUS
CodePath Board Member
Executive Director, Cognizant Foundation
“I am most excited about CodePath's ability to affect real systemic change in the tech industry. As the organization continues to scale, we expect to see unprecedented accountability from tech leaders, as well as transformed hiring and development practices. That paradigm shift will lead to better job outcomes, and more importantly, increased influence and social capital for underrepresented minorities who have been boxes out of tech careers for too long.”
THANK YOU
Elevating Tech Excellence Into The Future
CodePath was founded to address inequities in CS education and the tech industry, and to fill the gaps between CS education and a lasting career. We truly believe that tech excellence can be within reach for anyone, if given the right resources—and the chance to apply them.
We are proud of our work to date, both the tangible—the students we served, the partnerships and connections we forged, and the CS programs we helped supplement—and the intangible—the confidence boosted, the doors opened, and the upward trajectory toward economic mobility.
In addition to our team of entrepreneurial, creative problem solvers, we are endlessly grateful to our loyal partners for their ongoing support of our work, and our vision for the future.
