Who teaches Building AI Apps with the Gemini API? Zero To Mastery
Zero To Mastery (ZTM) is a Toronto-based online coding academy founded by Andrei Neagoie, originally a senior developer at large Canadian tech firms before turning to teaching full-time. The academy's signature is the cohort-based bootcamp track combined with a deep self-paced course library, all aimed at career-changers and self-taught developers preparing to land software-engineering roles at top companies.
The instructor roster has grown well beyond Andrei to include other senior practitioners: Daniel Bourke (machine learning), Aleksa Tešić (DevOps), Jacinto Wong, and others. Courses cover the full software-engineering career path: web development with React and Next.js, Python, machine learning and deep learning, DevOps and cloud, system design, mobile, and the algorithm / data-structure interview prep that gates engineering jobs.
The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 120 ZTM courses spanning that full range. Material is paid; ZTM itself runs on a monthly / annual membership model. The teaching style favours long-form, project-based courses where students build complete portfolio-quality applications rather than disconnected feature tutorials.
