Bio
Jordan Smith
Rich helped me land a dream job within a month of graduating Code Platoon. The job hunting process can be brutal but it was a pleasure with Rich on my side. His positive attitude, experience, and high energy gave me extreme confidence in myself. Hopefully I get a chance to work on the same team as Rich again someday.
Jessica Melville Goodin
Rich's guidance through my job search process was priceless. His industry knowledge, connections, and expertise helped me land my first software engineering role after graduating from Code Platoon - much more quickly than I had expected. With Rich's help, I connected with multiple companies whose missions and values aligned with my own. Rich connected me with one opportunity in particular which also aligned especially well with my past work experience. His advice and feedback helped me clearly communicate what I had to offer and I ultimately landed that job. This job search could have been a struggle, but thanks to Rich it went quickly, smoothly, and successfully. Having Rich on my side was a significant advantage in the whole process.
