Aleshia headed to London to go to school, which was the area she would later meet her now husband, Max. After a short jump to Silicon Valley, the Howells have settled into Savannah with their company, Codebase Savannah. There, they aim to teach people of all ages how to code and develop apps for themselves. Over the conversation, they talk about moving to Silicon Valley, why they decided to come to Savannah and what makes coding an appealing career path for kids and young adults.
