ABOUT
Built by students who've been
exactly where yours is.
Oakville Coders was started by engineers who landed internships, scholarships, and university spots — and want to show the next generation how to do the same.

Ibrahim Khawar
Founder & Lead Mentor
I started coding at 12. By 14, I was a software engineer at LogiSense. By Grade 11, I had an internship on Nokia's security team. Today I'm studying Engineering Science at the University of Toronto as a Schulich Leader Scholar — one of Canada's most prestigious STEM scholarships.
I started Oakville Coders because the mentorship I got was rare and mostly accidental. The students I teach shouldn't have to get lucky. Whether your child wants to ace AP CS, build their first app, or put together a portfolio that gets them into Waterloo — I know exactly what that path looks like.
