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.

Caitlin Studley Potter is a Rhode Island native, but has been a Dallas transplant for the last 8 years. She graduated from Roger Williams University with a BS in English & Foreign Language (Spanish), and remains a complete literary nerd. Originally beginning her career in insurance as a claims adjuster, she eventually transitioned into tech where she pursued recruiting, operations, HR, employee experience, and more. Caitlin owns her own career consulting business on the side, where she helps her clients transition into jobs they love. When she’s not working, you can find her around town riding her bike, trying out new restaurants, or with her nose in a book.

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 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.
