Hank Moon, Alumni of the Month, March 2020

Hank Moon is a US Air Force Veteran and a graduate of Code Platoon’s ninth class India.  Hank served in the Air Force as an inflight refuelling specialist for six years.

After completing his active duty, Hank set-out to find a career path that he could get excited about. He soon discovered that software development was the path that he wanted to follow. He attended the University of Southern New Hampshire and received his B.S. in Computer Science.

Even with a degree in computer science, Hank knew he was still missing some of the skills needed to immediately begin his career. Hank conducted an in-depth search through many available coding programs and decided to apply to Code Platoon. Hank was then selected to join India Platoon.

After mastering the 14-week Code Platoon classroom that focussed on building hands-on programming experience, Hank interned with DRW.  DRW is a financial services company that leverages technology to identify and capture trading and investment opportunities globally.

Hank excelled during his time at DRW. At the end of his internship, he was offered a full time position at DRW as a software engineer! Working for DRW was a perfect match for Hank. He speaks on their amazing work culture saying “When I left the military I was currently working with a very tight-knit team, we were almost like family, and I got that sense of family at DRW.”

Congratulations on all the exciting work you are doing Hank and for being Code Platoon’s March Alumni of the Month!
