Meet the Team

Every Code Wiz center is locally owned and operated by people who care deeply about their community. At Code Wiz Durham, our center is led by Priyaanka & Sindhuri, who is passionate about helping students discover creativity, confidence, and future-ready skills through technology.

Priyaanka & Sindhuri

Owners

Sindhu Bolisetty and Priya Guggilapu are the owners of Code Wiz Durham, brought together by a shared belief that coding is about far more than technical skill—it’s a way to build creativity, confidence, and problem-solving in kids.

Both come to Code Wiz with a passion for empowering the next generation, and Priya’s background in tech and innovation reinforced a shared commitment to making STEAM education fun and accessible, especially for underrepresented groups. What drew them to Code Wiz was its student-centered approach: personalized, engaging learning that gives children real-world skills while helping them realize just how capable they are.

For both owners, the most rewarding moment is watching a student light up when they realize they can build something from scratch, whether it’s a game, a website, or a robot. More than anything, Sindhu and Priya hope every student leaves their center believing they can create anything they imagine—walking away with the confidence, curiosity, and resilience to keep exploring and solving real-world problems. Running Code Wiz Durham was their way of doing meaningful work while giving back to the community they care about.
