About
Built by builders.
Just Code It Academy exists because the gap between what schools teach and what the industry needs has never been wider — and AI is making it wider every month.
Serial entrepreneur.
Builder at heart.
Colin has a Math and Computer Science background with 15+ years of development experience. Just Code It Academy is his 7th startup — built on the infrastructure and lessons of his 6th, CodingMind Academy.
The core belief: the best way to learn to build is to build. Not simulations. Not toy projects. Real products, for real clients, with real consequences. AI makes this model possible at a scale that wasn't feasible even two years ago.
We didn't start from scratch.
CodingMind Academy is an established K-12 AI and programming school in Redmond, WA. It provides trained teaching staff, a proven curriculum, and a direct pipeline of advanced students ready for real project work.
Just Code It Academy builds on that foundation — taking CodingMind's most advanced students and placing them in professional development environments where they ship real products for real clients.
Trained teaching staff ready to deploy
Proven curriculum foundation in AI and programming
Student pipeline: CodingMind advanced students feed directly in
Operational infrastructure: admin, comms, and logistics already built
Our Mission
Make AI-native technical education financially sustainable.
Not a charity. Not a CSR play. A business model where clients get quality work, students get real experience, and the economics work for everyone. Youth Growth Network (ygn.ngo) taught us that youth development can't scale on goodwill alone. Just Code It Academy is built to be self-sustaining.
