Arnell is originally from Massachusetts and is a graduate of Johnson & Wales University, where he studied Business Management and Computer Science.
Arnell launched IntraCity Geeks, a K-12 STEM education organization. The company expanded quickly and was recognized by President Barack Obama at the first-ever Whitehouse Demo Day. In June of 2018, he co-founded CareerDevs Computer Science University. CareerDevs reduces a four-year computer science education into an innovative twelve-month program. Graduates are guaranteed employment earning $50,000 to $80,000. CareerDevs is the leading supplier of software engineering talent in Rhode Island. The school reduced hiring ratios from 50-to-1 down to 1.5-to1 for hiring companies (A near 50X improvement). Students can ‘Pay Now’ or ‘Pay Later’ via CareerDevs Income Share Agreements.
