About Whitney
Hi, I’m Whitney, a former Microsoft Product Manager and Full Stack Engineer with a passion for helping others break into tech, master coding, and build impactful products. With years of experience working on high-impact teams, I know what it takes to succeed in software development, product strategy, and technical problem-solving. My journey started as a full-stack engineer, building scalable applications and solving complex UX challenges. Later, as a Product Manager at Microsoft, I led cross-functional teams, designed innovative features, and drove customer-focused solutions. This combination of technical expertise and strategic thinking allows me to teach coding, system design, and product management from both a developer and a business perspective. I know that learning to code, transitioning into product management, or preparing for technical interviews can be overwhelming, especially without the right guidance. That’s why I offer structured, hands-on lessons that focus on real-world projects, industry best practices, and proven strategies to help you stand out. My goal is to simplify complex concepts, equip you with practical skills, and give you the confidence to land high-paying jobs in tech. Whether you're a beginner, career switcher, or an experienced professional looking to sharpen your skills, I’ll provide the mentorship, insights, and technical knowledge you need to reach your goals. Let’s build your future in tech—one lesson at a time.
