History

Established in 2014.

Computational devices have become so pervasive that most of the time we don’t even realize that we are using them. Computational devices keep our planes in the air and our cars on the road. They manage our electrical systems, our communication channels, and our finances. They controls everything from homes to pacemakers, and most importantly, computation has changed the way people think about the world.

Sravan Ankaraju, founder and CEO of Divergence Academy, is no stranger to these technological advances. Ankaraju set out to address the shortage of skill in working with this new technology, present within the DFW and nationwide workforce. The value that a data scientist can bring to a business is often unsurpassed, and we aim to instill our students with the practical skill necessary to meet this expectation. In today’s world, «machines join the workforce, and an algorithm takes a seat on the board.

Divergence Academy provides the shortest link between education and industry.

Business Owner

Sravan Ankaraju is the Founder & CEO of Divergence Academy, a new trade school for the emergent silicon economy in DFW.

Sravan started his life as a programmer while still in his undergrad program. He developed a deep passion for computers and learning new technologies, and that love and passion landed him at Microsoft, where he went from software consulting to management. He considers the discovery of his passion for computers as one of the first great adventures of his life.

Sravan considers himself lucky to have gone on many adventures in his lifetime. He lived in Tanzania, where he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and journeyed through African safaris. Also, he worked with Lockheed Martin space systems to bid and propose a manned shuttle to Mars. Additionally, he moved an army with tremendous passion and integrity to 100% revenue growth in less than two years at Microsoft. One theme is constant: «Energy flows where attention goes!»
