Helping new developers build strong technical foundations.
Independent work: mentoring and technical writing, labelled here as such, distinct from client and product work above.
Kenzie Academy Brasil trains new developers through an intensive, project-based bootcamp. Students arrived with very different starting points.
Concepts like the DOM, semantic HTML and accessibility are easy to memorise and hard to actually apply under time pressure.
Mentored students directly in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git and DOM manipulation, and produced technical tutorials that let concepts be revisited outside of live sessions.
Tutorials and mentoring reached hundreds of students working through the fundamentals of web development.
Teaching fundamentals sharpened how clearly I communicate technical decisions — a skill that carries directly into code review and cross-functional work.
