About Codeup Dallas_

Dimitri graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in Urban Studies, and came to Codeup as a 2016 Venture for America Fellow. At Codeup, he serves as our Director of Delivery, overseeing delivery of our programs and student experience. He hopes to start his own company someday! Don’t let the fancy socks and chinos fool you. This Bostonian would much rather be wearing a plain white t-shirt and jorts. When not helping prospective students, Dimitri plays office DJ, complete with tracks from musicals, classic jazz albums, and cheesy post-funk jam bands.

John Aschenbeck serves as Codeup’s Director of Finance. For nearly a decade, he has served as a strategic partner to investors and business executives while operating in investment banking and corporate finance positions of increasing responsibility. John holds an MBA from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin and received his master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Accounting from the University of Houston.

Khanh graduated from Boston College with a Sociology degree. Her favorite sociologist is W.E.B. Du Bois because his work transformed the way Black citizens were seen in American society. Khanh has lived in Boston for 18 years and found herself at Codeup because she loves their mission of empowering others through economic opportunity, community, and tech. She cannot live without music and you can always find her making a Spotify playlist. Fun fact- she has 2000+ followers on one of her playlists! Besides listening to music 24/7, she loves dancing and was on a Bollywood Fusion team in college.

Xavier is our Admissions and Operations Manager for our Dallas campus. Before Codeup, Xavier worked various startups in the gig-economy space. He graduated from Southern Methodist University with a BBA in Management. Off campus, you can find Xavier strutting his way to the nearest taco stand. He also enjoys live music, theme parks, and volunteering.

Gabriel is one of Codeup’s newest hires, joining the Placement team as a Business Development Representative. He majored in Political Science at Haverford College and most recently became a Fellow with Venture for America, seeking to promote organic economic growth in San Antonio alongside fellow Fellows in thirteen other cities. At Haverford Gabriel played Division III lacrosse and served as President and Treasurer of the Haverford Charcuterie Union, bringing people together with fancy meats and cheeses. Recently, Gabriel has spent his summers working as an Account Manager and Sales Intern, and hopes to bring a new perspective to the team as he works to source high-quality opportunities for Codeup program graduates. He is an avid reader and writer, loves to cook, and has recently taken up skateboarding though he spends more time falling than skating.

Christian is a product of the San Antonio Tech District with experience in Technical Support, Marketing, Sales and Project Management. Working with fast-growing companies, he brings knowledge of what is important to our Employer Partners. When he’s not helping place our students, you can find him chasing the Ironman Dream, the sport, not the superhero, that would be silly. Outside of triathlons, Christian enjoys exploring our city, playing in his rock band and creating memorable experiences.

Ben is a Kentucky native, but has lived in Texas for over 20 years. He is a graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio with a B.A. in Communication Studies. When he’s not exploring the latest theme park or state park, he’s exploring new opportunities to learn and grow personally and professionally. Ben comes to Codeup with prior experience in the theme park, retail, and software industries as part of the Business Development Team. When he’s not at work, he’s streaming the latest video games or taking in the latest movies at the theater with his wife of 13+ years.
