Pick your track
Three focused tracks.
One proven playbook.
Every track combines hands-on project work with 1:1 mentorship. You leave with a portfolio, a network, and a job-ready skill set.
Full-Stack Web
Master modern web engineering end-to-end. Build and deploy apps used by thousands.
12 weeks · Full-time
Learn moreAI & ML Engineering
Build production-grade AI systems. Fine-tune models. Ship retrieval pipelines that work.
14 weeks · Full-time
Learn moreDevOps & Cloud
Own the platform. Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and production incident response.
10 weeks · Full-time
Learn moreSix tracks. One way of learning.
Every course is mentor-led, project-based, and shippable to your portfolio. The catalog below is rendered live from our Masteriyo LMS — what you see is what you can enroll in today.
Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp
Go from zero to shipping production web apps. Learn JavaScript, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, auth, deployment, and CI/CD — all in one structured…
Frontend Engineering with React & TypeScript
A focused track on shipping high-quality React UIs. Architecture patterns, state management, accessibility, animation, and design systems.
Python for Data Analysis
Learn Python, Pandas, SQL, and matplotlib by analysing real datasets — from city budgets to streaming-music charts to climate sensors.
Machine Learning & AI Fundamentals
A maths-first, hands-on path through classical ML and modern deep learning — with PyTorch, scikit-learn, and a final LLM-powered project.
DevOps & Cloud Engineering
Ship code with confidence. Master Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and AWS — by deploying a real multi-service app on day one.
Mobile App Development with Flutter
Ship a beautiful, fast, cross-platform app to the App Store and Play Store using Flutter, Dart, and Firebase.

How it works
From your first commit to your first offer.
Apply
A 15-minute technical interview. No GPA. No gatekeeping. We look for curiosity.
Learn
Small cohort (20 max). Live sessions. Daily code review with your mentor.
Build
Ship 4 real projects to real users. Your capstone becomes part of your portfolio.
Ship
Career coaching, mock interviews, direct intros to hiring partners. 97% land roles.
Curriculum preview
Real projects. Real reviews. Real code.
A sample of what you’ll ship. Tap a phase to see the artifacts.
Build the engineer’s toolkit.
Version control, clean code, testing, and the basics of distributed systems — all through a terminal-first lens.
Git workflows with real PR etiquette
TypeScript + Python fundamentals
Data structures you’ll actually use
Unit testing, code review as a craft
// lab-02: binary-tree traversal
function bfs(root) {
const queue = [root], out = [];
while (queue.length) {
const n = queue.shift();
out.push(n.val);
if (n.left) queue.push(n.left);
if (n.right) queue.push(n.right);
}
return out;
}
Full-stack, end-to-end.
Ship a production SaaS. React on the front, Postgres on the back, auth, payments, and CI/CD in between.
Next.js App Router + RSC
Auth, Stripe, Postgres migrations
Background jobs + queues
Production observability
// app/api/checkout/route.ts
import { stripe } from “@/lib/stripe”;
export async function POST(req) {
const { items } = await req.json();
const session = await stripe.checkout
.sessions.create({ line_items: items });
return Response.json(session);
}
Think like a systems engineer.
Design systems that scale: caching, sharding, queues, event-driven pipelines, and bulletproof observability.
System design interview prep
Redis, Kafka, CDN strategy
SLOs, error budgets, incident review
Building for 1M → 100M users
# scale-design: hot feed, 50M DAUs

Student stories
They started with a blank terminal.
“I failed two CS courses in college. Here, I shipped four real apps and got hired at a YC startup before the cohort even ended. The difference was having mentors who treated me like a junior engineer on their team.”
Tomás Herrera
SWE at Linear · 2024 Fullstack
“The AI track was more rigorous than my master’s program — and cost a third. By week 6 I was deploying fine-tuned models to production. My capstone became my startup.”
Amelie Nguyen
Founder · Drafting Room · 2023 AI
“Mentor code reviews ruined me — in the best way. I can’t ship mediocre code anymore. The standard they hold you to is the same one they hold themselves to at Stripe.”
