Everything I send my mentees, in one place. 📚

I kept sharing the same links and the same advice in mentorship calls, so I wrote it all down here. Some pages curate the best material I have found. Others are my own notes on things that no link explains well. Start wherever you are stuck.

Engineering fundamentals

Data Structures & Algorithms

Patterns, problem sets, and courses that actually build problem solving intuition instead of memorized solutions.

System Design

Primers, case studies, and real architecture breakdowns for both high level and low level design rounds.

Frontend craft

JavaScript

Documentation, courses, books, and practice grounds for getting genuinely fluent in the language.

React.js

Official docs, deep dives, and patterns for writing React that holds up in production codebases.

Landing the role

Interview Prep

A structured path through coding, frontend, system design, and behavioral rounds, with the platforms worth your time.

Resume

How to structure a resume recruiters can scan in six seconds, write bullets that show impact, and pass automated screens.

Growth and visibility

LinkedIn

Turning a dormant profile into something that brings opportunities to you, without becoming a content machine.

Personal Branding

Building a reputation that compounds, based on real work rather than performance and follower counts.

Career Growth

What actually moves you from junior to senior and beyond: scope, judgement, visibility, and the conversations most people avoid.
