San Francisco Bay Area United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTommy Gebru is a software engineer mentor and web developer with a decade of experience blending hands-on coding (JS, React, SQL) with deep customer support and quality assurance expertise. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he currently teaches, reviews projects, and resolves technical tickets at Codecademy, running office hours and guiding BootCamp cohorts through algorithmic problem-solving. His background in frontline support and community moderation gives him a strong user-centered perspective—he not only debugs issues but advocates for learners and helps translate feedback into actionable product improvements. Trained through Year Up and freeCodeCamp, Tommy pairs practical instructional skills with real-world troubleshooting, maintaining knowledgebases and SLAs while mentoring others to ship cleaner code. An often-overlooked strength is his long history in public service roles (libraries) and cross-functional escalation work, which sharpened his attention to detail and collaborative instincts.
