Alex Bymoen
Web Development Diploma Instructor - Calgary
Alex has been working as a developer professionally for the past 5 years, after having graduated from the University of Calgary with a degree in Computer Science with distinction. He grew up loving computers; tearing them down to see what was inside and then seeing if he could put them back together. He started building websites when he was just a wee 13 year old and never stopped. Recently he has enjoyed building VR games and learning Flutter to develop native phone applications and websites. Everyday Alex gets to share his immense knowledge of web development and passion for anything and everything in tech with our Web Development students.

Most recently Jamie co-created the award-winning children’s app Melody Jams, which topped the App Store charts in 130 countries and won Communication Arts 2017 Award of Excellence. He has also taught code to designers at Parsons and the University of San Francisco.
