“Marcus's mock interview was harder than my real one at a big tech company — and I got the offer.”

About Marcus B.

I've been a software engineer for nine years, most recently leading a backend team at a fintech company, and I've sat on the other side of the table for more than 200 technical interviews. I know what interviewers actually look for — and it is rarely what candidates expect.

I teach Python from first principles and coach people through coding interviews: how to think out loud, how to break a problem down, and how to recover when you get stuck. We practise with real interview-style questions, and I give you the kind of feedback a hiring panel would discuss after you leave the room.

Whether you are writing your first lines of code or preparing for a senior role, we will set a clear goal and a plan to reach it.

Very good bootcamp. A little fast in the last hour, but the recordings and notes helped.
