What is Project Underdog? A barrier for many Underdog Devs to getting a full-time software job is having the time to practice and become interview-ready, while also supporting themselves and their families financially.

@RwoltX , is a great views.substack.com guest who went from prison to software dev and founder of @UnderdogDevs to help the formerly incarcerated.
He is back to work after some time off due to his wife passing away, and looking for a 4 yrs exp iOS dev role.
Any help?
A few months ago I put in my two weeks notice at Big Nerd Ranch. After my wife passed I wanted to spend time with my daughter.
I'm ready to get back into the workforce so if you know anyone needing an iOS developer with 4 years experience I would appreciate the connection.

My friend starts her first software engineering job today, after learning to program in prison.
Here's how she got the job, and how you can help more people like her get jobs after getting out:
First, let's be clear that my friend served 13 years for a serious, violent crime.

1. @UnderdogDevs is led by and centered on people who are formerly-incarcerated, working in community to listen to what folks say they need and directing 100% of resources to meet those needs.
Friends working in service to each other, 100% volunteers, no corporate overhead.

The time spent at UD as a Mentee was a game changer. I learned more during my time there than I did anywhere else to date. The 1 on 1 with Sr. Devs pushed me to the next level every week. I felt confident enough to open my own startup and have recently secured my first clients.
