Apply to be a TA or Tutor!Hi! I’m Derek Lo, a proud co-founder of Codeminds. I’m an aspiring 14 year old software engineer that was born and raised in the Bay Area. I am currently studying Java and I am hoping to share my same ambition for it with the world! I also am learning about operating systems such as Linux, although I am just getting started. I am currently preparing to compete in USACO, familiarizing myself with problem solving techniques in competitive coding. Driven by a desire to revolutionize the world through software, I hope to propel technology’s advancement in the years to come. When I’m not actively working on my projects or code, you’ll see me playing basketball, cruising around on my board, or mastering the art of martial arts.
Hey there! I’m Jeffrey, one of the co-founders of Codeminds! I’m an ambitious fourteen year that was born and raised in the Bay Area. I’ve had five years of experience in coding with Python and Javascript, and I currently use platforms like Github and Replit to develop games, apps, and other innovative projects. My passion for coding has won me numerous prestigious programming and hackathon awards, including the Replit Creator Fund of 2022. Inspired to make a positive impact on the world, I am striving to become a software engineer, eager to contribute to shaping a brighter future with technology. When I’m not immersed in my academics or coding, you’ll find me shooting hoops on the basketball court, playing video games on my computer, or knocking on the keys of my own piano.
