Webinar hosting presenter Alan Johnson
Alan Johnson is the CTO and co-founder of Treehouse, an online school coding school founded in 2009 that offers affordable, easy access to computer programming education and career placement services. Alan leads technology innovation at Treehouse to make online learning courses more accessible and intuitive for all students.

Having worked with a variety of software startups over the past 10 years, Alan has help them build innovative products, discover their place in the market and grow their businesses. Alan’s passion for teaching people how to code comes from his background as a computer programmer for 17 years and his education in computer science as a graduate from Clemson University in 2003.

Treehouse is a profitable company backed by top investors Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn and Kevin Rose of Google Ventures. Since inception, the company has doubled in size and received a $7 million B-round investment, all which was achieved under the establishment of a four-day workweek and elimination of all management positions. With skyrocketing college tuition costs and escalating student loan debt, Alan’s goal is to provide the resources to teach people how to code and put them in tech jobs today—a Code-to-Work movement he and his co-founder believe will be the most important thing they ever work on.
