A seven-stage plan for looking for a software job on purpose instead of mass applying: choose a target role, level and tiered company list, build a one-page resume and proof of work, apply through referrals and short messages with a tracked weekly rhythm, get ready for the technical and behavioural rounds, and compare and negotiate offers. It suits final-year students, graduates hearing nothing back and experienced engineers changing company. At the end you have a search you can measure and a researched number when the offer arrives.

A seven-stage path for developers and sysadmins who want to own how software is built, shipped and kept running: Linux and Bash, networking, Docker, AWS service by service, Terraform and GitHub Actions, Kubernetes with Helm and Argo CD, and observability with incident response. One application grows through the stages. By the end you can take it from a Git repository to a monitored, automatically deployed service on AWS and Kubernetes, and run the incident when it breaks.

A 10-stage path for developers who can already call a model API and want to build agents that hold up in real use, in Python or TypeScript. It covers the agent loop by hand, structured output, memory and state, multi-agent patterns, LangGraph and the OpenAI and Claude agent SDKs, building and publishing an MCP server, evals, guardrails against prompt injection, and tracing and shipping. You finish with an evaluated, limited, traced agent and an MCP server a reviewer can try.
