Hey! I’m Avi, and I’ll teach you how to build!

I'm Avi, your new Python instructor and founder of The Codex.

Three years ago I was stuck. I wasn’t learning anything in my theory-filled CS classes, my friends took pictures of me sleeping in lecture, and I was questioning why I was even learning CS to begin with. I had ideas but I was clueless on execution.

Savvy Students ❤️ The Codex

The Codex has helped hundreds of students find jobs and build their dream projects.

“CS classes at UW were overwhelming and full of theory. Through The Codex, I realized the power of Python programming, built numerous projects for my resume and ultimately landed an internship at Amazon.“
