Ivan chose PACE based on its global reputation and was not disappointed.

He has since since gone on to certify as a Full-Stack Developer and secure a National Energy Board Code for Canada Fellowship, focussed on making data about important energy projects more accessible for Canadians, so that scientists, landowners, and Indigenous communities can fully participate in the Canadian energy dialogue.
