THE PROBLEM
What needed solving
Self-taught developers struggled with fragmented learning paths spread across YouTube, blogs, and outdated documentation.
Existing platforms focused on video lectures without hands-on coding practice or real-world project building.
Progress tracking was superficial -- completion percentages don't reflect actual skill development.
Certifications from most platforms lacked industry credibility due to easy-to-game assessment systems.
THE SOLUTION
How I approached it
Built structured learning paths with interactive code exercises embedded directly in lessons using a custom MDX renderer.
Created a project-based curriculum where students build real applications and receive automated code reviews.
Implemented skill-based assessments that test practical ability rather than memorization.
Designed a certification system with proctored exams and portfolio-grade capstone projects.
