Summary
Allan Lapid is a program manager and educator in New York with nine years of experience building and running accelerated web development bootcamps and college-level courses. He blends hands-on technical instruction in the PERN stack (Git, JavaScript/Node, Express, React/Redux, PostgreSQL) with program leadership, having scaled cohorts across CUNY campuses and Fullstack Academy. Allan’s background in integrative neuroscience turned software engineering gives him a thoughtful, learner-centered approach to curriculum design and student mentorship that repeatedly helped students land high-growth roles. He currently leads programs at Borough of Manhattan Community College after managing multiple cohorts at Brooklyn College and CUNY, where he converted bootcamp content into credit-bearing electives. Known for teaching to the median while reaching all, he pairs practical project management with empathy for career-starters and switchers. Off the podium he keeps a playful curiosity—evident in a GitHub quip asking why the World never says Hello back.
