Although Tanks spent their teenage years assembling and fixing computers, they first studied chemistry and worked as a teacher. Only later did they fulfill their long-cherished dream of learning programming. Today they help others make their coding dreams come true too: Tanks is in charge of organizing our workshops and is the person to contact for all questions regarding our training programs.
