Summary: Fullstack is an immersive software engineering school or "coding bootcamp" in lower Manhattan and Chicago.

David and Nimit met on the first day of freshman orientation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After graduating in 2004 with degrees in computer science and electrical engineering, they have joined forces on at least five startups and worked together at Yahoo.
