“
I've applied to 50+ jobs but barely get callbacks”
I did courses but still can't crack senior role interviews”
I'm stuck doing screens while others around me get promoted”
I don't know what's actually wrong with my portfolio”
If any of these hit home, you're in the right place.

The uncomfortable truth
Why Courses Didn't Work
01
Pre-Recorded, Not Personal
You watch videos made for thousands of people. No one knows your name, your background, or what's holding you back.
02
No One Pushes You Forward
Courses let you go at your own pace - which usually means you stop halfway. No accountability, no progress.
03
Certificates Don't Get You Hired
Hiring managers don't care about course badges. They care about how you think, present, and solve real problems.
04
No One Reviews Your Work
You submit assignments into the void. No one looks at your portfolio. No one tells you what's actually wrong or how to fix it.
