I'm a Full-Stack Engineer/Manager & Bootcamp Mentor, Ask Me Anything

Hi, I'm Matt and I'm the lead mentor here at Skill Pathway (based in the UK) and a developer / head of software engineering within a construction company.

I've got 7 years commercial experience in agency, embedded and freelance jobs, I don't have a computer science degree so I'm completely self taught. I actually started learning to code at 10 years of age!

I have a lot of past experience in mentorship as at my previous agency job, I was responsible for training up apprentices (interns) from 0 experience to building full-blown custom websites front to back. I really love to sit back and watch people grow their skillset.

I can answer on anything, here are some examples:

  • Mindset
  • Getting a job, resume & interview tips etc (I've run 100s of interviews and read 1000s of resumes)
  • Ways to learn more efficiently
  • Specific code questions (my stack is very wide - JS, HTML, CSS, Vue, Angular, PHP, Laravel and more) etc.
  • Anything cloud (Qualified AWS Solutions Architect Associate)
  • What your manager (or future manager) might think about you (being a manager myself helps with this)
  • Side projects
  • Freelancing

Seriously, fire away. I love nothing more than helping out.

💖 💪 🙅 🚩
