Eight weeks. You join a small team, build a real product, and walk out with a Proof Pack a hiring manager can trust in minutes.
You've sent the applications. Dozens, maybe hundreds. Most got read by software and rejected before a person ever saw them.
You can do the work. You just don't have anything recent that proves it. And you already know "network more" isn't the answer.
So go make the proof yourself.
This is what you leave with, and it's the whole point of the program. Six things a hiring manager can open and check in about a minute. The work, reviewed and signed. Not a certificate that says you showed up.
The actual code your team shipped. Your commits, your history. Not a tutorial clone that looks like everyone else's.
You on camera, walking through what you built and answering hard questions about it.
How your work scored against a clear bar, written up by the engineer who reviewed it.
Someone checked your build for the holes a real company would care about, and wrote down what they found.
A working founder put their name on your work. That's the part a badge can't fake.
The calls you made and why. The trade-offs, the things you'd do differently. This is the part that shows an employer you can think, not just type.
You're not dumped in a Discord and told good luck. You join a small team and build like one, on a real clock.
Five people, building together for eight weeks. Twenty residents, four teams. A real team, not a class.
Your own idea, or a real project from a company in our catalog. Your call. Either way the stakes are real.
Standups every day. A milestone every week. Demo day on Fridays. Sprints, the way the actual job runs.
Every day. He keeps the team moving, calls the milestones, and unblocks you when you're stuck.
Not a lecturer. Jacob has peer-reviewed AI papers on arXiv and IEEE, and a live product he's raising for. He runs the weekly session and holds your work to the same bar he'd hold his own. Four weeks go to building. Four go to how he built and raised his company.
What it means to build with AI in the loop, and where it helps you versus where it quietly makes the decisions for you.
The unglamorous path from concept to a thing people can download and use. The grind that never makes the highlight reel.
Raw compute vs. serverless. AWS vs. Azure vs. GCP. This database vs. that one. The real trade-offs behind a shipped product.
How to start an LLC for $50, get an EIN, set up the dull but load-bearing parts, and go from concept to a first dollar of revenue.
How to move quicker without handing it the judgment calls. The syntax is cheap now. The decisions are the whole job.
The real deck Jacob used to raise Dupely's first round, and what investors look for behind the polite nods.
Taking a product from "it works on my machine" to something you would put your name on, and getting ready to defend every decision in it.
What it looks like to keep going, and to build and launch your own thing if the market won't have you. Inspiration and a map, not a guarantee.
The person in the room with you every week. He builds and raises an AI startup right now, and holds your work to the same bar he holds his own.
Jacob's a published AI researcher with peer-reviewed work on arXiv and IEEE, co-authored with a university CS professor. He's also the co-founder and CTO of Dupely, an AI product that's live and raising right now. Every week he reviews your work against a clear bar. A serious builder signing off on it is what makes the bar mean something.
Your Proof Pack closes with a working founder putting his name on what you built — that’s Jacob. He reviews the work to the same bar he holds his own startup to. A signature like that is the part a badge can’t fake.
People who can already build and just need recent proof of it. Find yourself here:
The common thread: you've got the skills, and nothing recent that proves it. You got a bad hand. This is how you deal yourself a better one.
Anyone can apply. Not everyone gets in, and that's on purpose. A score only counts for something if not everyone passes it. The bar is the reason the proof is worth anything at all.
There are cheaper options. They both fall apart the second someone asks a real question.
The question every hiring manager asks is “what did you actually ship?” A badge can't answer it. Your Proof Pack does.
This doesn't sit alone. It runs inside Coding Temple, which has trained people and gotten them hired since 2015. The career team here is the same one that already does it, and you keep it for life.
Standups, milestones, demo days. You're not figuring it out alone in a Discord.
Real one-on-one career coaching during the eight weeks, and after, for as long as you need it.
Resume and LinkedIn sharpened, a personal brand worth a look, then real interview prep: data structures, algorithms, mock interviews, MAANG-style.
Guest speakers, employer workshops, an alumni Slack, and help negotiating the offer once it lands.
Most programs are a single step that ends when they hand you a certificate. This one is part of something that goes further: a place that trains you, a place that proves you can do the work, and a real door into a job at the end.
Ten years of training people for tech work, with real employer relationships behind it.
Where you build the Proof Pack: reviewed, defended evidence you can do the work.
A real staffing company that places screened, U.S.-based tech talent into companies, productive in about 30 days.
HTD places people into real jobs at real companies. The strongest residents can be put forward for placement through it. It's a pathway, not a guarantee. A door the proof can open, for the people who earn it. An externship can't place you. A staffing firm can't vouch for how you work. This does both.
HTD TalentEmployers stopped trusting resumes and GPAs. They want to hire on proven skill. The catch is they can't tell whose skill is real.
Employers want to hire on skill. They just can't trust the proof in front of them. So we make proof they can.
We won't promise you a job. Nobody honest can. We won't quote you a salary or tell you you'll make 25% more. We don't know that, and anyone who says they do is guessing.
What we can do: hand you a working product, real time on a team, and a Proof Pack employers trust. Enough to get past the screen and into more rooms. The honest version is the whole pitch.
Proof good enough that you stop getting ignored.
No. Nobody honest can promise that, and you've heard enough empty promises. What you get is a working product, real team experience, and a Proof Pack employers trust. Career services helps you turn that into a stronger position when you go back out. That's a promise we can keep.
There is a real door, though. Coding Temple also runs HTD Talent, a staffing company that places people into jobs. The strongest residents can be put forward for placement through it. A pathway for the people who clear the bar, not a guarantee for everyone.
Either. Build your own idea with your team, or take a real project from a company in our catalog. Both are real work on a real clock. Pick the one that gives you the story you want to tell next.
Eight weeks, run like a real job: standups daily, milestones weekly, demo days, and sprints with your team.
It's for people who can already build and need recent proof of it: software and product engineers, PMs, designers, data analysts, cybersecurity, QA, marketing engineers, anyone who builds with AI tools.
It's not a beginner bootcamp, and it's not for someone who wants to be told it'll all work out. If you want a certificate for showing up, this isn't it.
Because a score only means something if not everyone passes. If we let everyone in, the Proof Pack would be worth about as much as a certificate, which is to say nothing. The bar is the point. Anyone can apply. Most won't get in.
Pricing and payment options show up when you apply. Tap any Apply button to see the full breakdown before you commit.
Your Proof Pack: the repo your team shipped, an evaluation report, a security review, a record of the decisions you made, a sign-off from the engineer who reviewed it, and a recorded demo where you present and defend the work. Six things a hiring manager can check in about a minute.
Four of the eight weeks are built for that. You'll see how Jacob took Dupely from an idea to a live product to a fundraise: the deck, the $50 LLC, the EIN, the first dollar of revenue. Not everyone leaves to start something. But you'll know what it takes if you ever want to.
Jacob Galajda. He's a published AI researcher, with peer-reviewed work on arXiv and IEEE, co-authored with a university CS professor. He's also the co-founder and CTO of Dupely, a live AI product he's raising for. Don't take our word for it. Read the papers. A serious builder signs off on your work, which is the whole reason the bar means anything.
You have to get in first, and most who apply won't. If you can build and you've got nothing recent that proves it, this is the most direct way to fix that. When the teams fill, they fill.
8 weeks. Starts August 10. 20 seats. Your idea or a company's project.
