"Will I ever succeed at this?"
"Is my brain just not wired for engineering?"
"I’ve put in so much effort but still can’t secure an interview. Is my resume too weak, or have I just taken the wrong tutorials?"
Just a few years ago these doubts consumed me, making me question my path every time I opened my laptop. I thought about quitting, maybe going back to teaching or even going back to school—anything that could turn this failure into a different success. But my passion for coding kept me going. I saw the upside: developers working remotely, earning top-tier salaries while living anywhere. I wanted that life, so I refused to quit.
Today, I earn over $200k as a JavaScript/TypeScript developer, working remotely from around the world. I’ve coded as a senior dev for months on end from Europe, Peru, Mexico and every region in the USA. I’ve contributed to impactful applications; my (and my team’s code) has helped law enforcement with criminal investigations. Reflecting on my journey, I realized it wasn’t a personal failing that made coding hard. I just lacked the right roadmap and tools.
Online tutorials are helpful but often show only the “happy path”—they skip real-world challenges and debugging. As a former bootcamp instructor, I saw how inflated success stats and simplified projects left students unprepared. That’s why many bootcamp grads seek my help to bridge the gap between tutorials, their simple projects, and real software engineering.
Fundamentally, anybody can learn these skills. But bootcamps have dumped carbon copy jr devs with the same projects (weather app, cryptocurrency app, youtube clone, facebook remake. etc) onto the market. To stand out in this competitive world you have to go about this differently.
What if instead of paying 20k+ for a coding bootcamp that leaves you with a resume full of simple projects, you learn directly from a senior software engineer the skills necessary to build and deploy a professional application utilizing the technologies demanded by the top startups?
I never teach anything I haven’t gotten paid professionally to code. And everything I teach, I teach to professional architectural patterns and standards. The skills and knowledge that have served the startups I’ve worked for I transfer to you.
If this resonates with you, read on to learn how my client work helps aspiring developers land roles with salaries between $80k and $120k.
Hang on a second... I've been down the Udemy, Coursera, Youtube University route. The lack of support leaves me frusterated. How will this be different?
Tutorial Hell is a real place, where software engineering dreams go to die. I want to make this very clear; I'm a personal trainer for software engineering and as such you will have my support and attention. This is not strictly a video course; it's just that I've found over half a decade of teaching and many clients that have secured 100k+ offers that the videos enable you to gain a solid foundation. When you have a base understanding and have tried to code something yourself I become empowered to teach you from your unique position of confusion.
How will we be in contact as I progress?
Your first task upon enrolling is to join my private Discord server. This opens up a direct line of communication between us. In asking a question or seeking technical education or help I will sometimes write you back, possibly send a video outlining the answer you need... when things get really complex as is our goal we may hop on a zoom call.
After the full stack course, when I am building a real world application, will you be there to support my usage of SaaS DNA and the application I'm building?
Most definitely, I guide all of my clients in determining what kind of application meets the mark in terms of being realistically achievable and complex enough to garner respect from engineering managers. You are not alone, I simply become more of a engineering manager and consultant and less of a teacher as you, at this point, understand how to code at a professional level.
We also have a dedicated product manager that keeps you accountable and adhering to Agile methodology and sprints.
Last question, when can I start applying for software engineering positions?
This is what the entirety of our work together is geared towards. At the end of the day it comes down to you Github, LinkedIn, Portfolio site and resume all promoting your skillset as professional and unlike a student, Jr. Dev or Bootcamp Grad.
I recommend that my clients start applying when we have enough strong proof of your skillset across these four assets.
And yet, I want my clients to continue coding and learning even when their resume is built out.
So my team does the applying for you. Yes, you read that right. We apply to jobs on your behalf so you can keep your attention on progressing your technical skills.
