Early-career developers needed practical experience that connected learning with production-quality delivery.

What should people build, practise and review to become useful contributors on real software teams?

Trained and mentored more than 200 developers through project work, technical review and focused development plans.

Participants worked against practical engineering expectations instead of relying on passive course completion.
