What you’ll build

A real app with accounts, data, and a phone preview.

Not a toy demo — a working project you can keep growing after you start.

  • Screens you can tap through

    Design and build the main views of your app, then preview them on the web and on your phone.

  • Real sign-in and saved data

    Connect authentication and a cloud database so people can create accounts and keep their stuff.

  • Posts, profiles, and more

    Wire up the features that make an app feel alive — then prepare a mobile build when you’re ready.

Why I teach this

I learned by building — not by watching alone.

Start live with me, or start with the video course — both get you building for real.

  1. Where I started: No money. No job. Just me, a laptop, and a dream of breaking into tech.
  2. Then it clicked: Top-rated on Fiverr. Earned enough to take my first real vacation.
  3. Then a startup noticed: Flown to San Francisco. My first tech conference. Real investor meetings.
  4. Software paid for this: My dream car. Not rented. Not a prop. Mine — bought with software money.
  5. And then: Big tech job. She said yes. Full-time at a big tech company, engaged to the love of my life.

Questions, answered.

I’ve never written code — can I still start?

Yes. Both the live class and the video course are built for beginners.

What’s the difference between the live class and the video course?

The live class is a 45-minute Google Meet on weekends with me guiding you face-to-face. The video course is 12 on-demand lessons you can start anytime.

Is it really free?

Yes — no card required to book the live class or to open the video course. Optional paid 1-on-1 Build-With-Me packages exist if you want to build your own app with me later.

What if I can’t make my slot?

Use the reschedule link in your confirmation email to move to another weekend slot. Seats are small, so move early.

Is it really free? What’s the catch?

It’s really free — no card needed to book. The honest catch: most people want to keep building after, and I offer a paid 1-on-1 for that.

Will there be a recording?

Yes. You get the session recording so you can rebuild your app anytime.
