Students spend an average of 7 to 10 hours on Thinkful coursework each week.
Thinkful mentors guide students in weekly, one-on-one sessions and daily office hours.
With small classes, students get personal attention from mentors and peers to prevent them from getting stuck.
Darrell has been developing software for fifteen years. His first program solved quadratic equations on his TI-83, and was built to illustrate how easy cheating had become once students were allowed to use calculators during tests. More recently, he worked as a quant for a hedge fund in New York, was the founder of Perpetually, and is now the co-founder and CEO of Thinkful.
Dan started coding as he entered the Thiel Fellowship two years ago. He quickly learned his interest lied on the front-end, and suddenly was spending weeks at a time studying typography and responsive design. Dan helped about a half-dozen startups build initial products as part of the team at the development shop Elm City Labs, and is now the co-founder and President of Thinkful.
Frank has been designing and programming websites for the past six years. His experience spans JavaScript and HTML/CSS to PHP and MySQL. In college his passion was 3D graphics but when he was introduced to web development he never looked back. He enjoys spending his free time playing in a local community band and sharing his talents with others.
Jack Dawson has been programming for seven years, and has a passion for creating unique user experiences. Over the years he has worked for multiple software companies including some in the educational arena, building and integrating learning management systems. When Jack is not behind the screen, he spends his time in the mountains, recently completing a section hike of the Pacific Crest Trail covering over 600 miles in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Justin began learning web design and development three years ago when he realized it was an ideal way to be creative and analytical at the same time. His particular area of expertise is JavaScript, and also uses PhP on a range of projects. He spends his free time volunteering at Sweetwater Farms, a local farm that promotes organic farming and sustainable living in the community.
James has been a Front End and Product Developer for over fourteen years, working with HTML, CSS, Javascript/jQuery, and PHP. In addition to contributing technically, he has experience working on both visual and user experience design. He has worked for award winning digital agencies, media companies, and start-ups, including The New York Times, HUGE, and GolfSlope.
Dan has been a professional technologist and entrepreneur for over 10 years. Having founded two companies, including his current consultancy, bluefocus, he has held positions ranging from lead developer to VP of Software Development at a number of NYC metro based startups. Particularly passionate about early stage projects, Dan considers himself a professional idea builder above all. In his spare time, he enjoys taking things apart with his 21 month old daughter and cooking.
JJ has been passionate technologist; avidly teaching himself new algorithms, coding languages & technologies since the days of Oregon Trail. He is a full stack developer primarily using Ruby / SQL / Rails / JavaScript, and currently has enraptured himself in machine learning techniques. Outside of all that coding stuff, he enjoys hiking, Zeus his awesome cat, drumming and hypothesizing on how to survive a zombie apocalypse.
We believe that the best way to learn is through apprenticeship. We provide curricula to structure your learning and mentorship to accelerate it. That combination – self-directed, online learning and frequent, one-on-one help – sets Thinkful apart.
You can’t raise your hand for a question during an online tutorial or video. With Thinkful, we're there to help.
Thinkful students spend most of their time building because we believe that's the best way to learn. If you come with projects you want to work on, we'll fit them into the curriculum; otherwise, we'll help you find ideas you're excited about.
Thinkful was founded by Dan Friedman and Darrell Silver in 2012 in New York City. We're actively hiring mentors, writers and developers who share our mission to dramatically improve career advancement through workplace training.
We don't hire for domain expertise. Rather, like our students, Thinkful team members must have the curiosity, enthusiasm and grit to learn quickly on the job.
Thinkful may not be your last job, but we want to make it the one you're most proud of. Contact us to learn more.

At the end of the course, Thinkful students apply to use our employer network. Accepted students complete a skills assessment to get matched and introduced to our network of exciting prospective employers.
Our students build a job-ready portfolio and learn how to showcase their work to employers. We offer students in our employer network program feedback on their resume and interview prep.
Many of our students have no intention of becoming full-time developers but find tremendous value in understanding the tools and fundamentals of front-end development, whether it’s to build their own personal projects or spark their curiosity.
"Thinkful found me a job I love. They helped me discover what I want to do."
