Full-stack engineer with 15 years of experience building scalable systems and leading technical initiatives. Delivered $2M in annual savings through devops automation, cloud migrations, and data pipeline optimization. Experienced in solving complex technical problems, designing user interfaces, and mentoring development teams. Seeking a collaborative role that combines platform architecture with hands-on development.

Youtube knows what videos have promotional content. I'm seriously hoping for a search filter that natively removes them from results....plugins don't work for me since I watch primarily on a smart TV. For now I have resorted to blocking channels with promoted content, that's the great thing about yt, there's always another channel out there with similar content

True. I have experience working as an instructor at a bootcamp. I've had the opportunity to learn more about bootcamps as an industry....The best bootcamps (highest placement rates) without fail offer a career services portion as well.

That gives you interview prep, LinkedIn support, resume building and most importantly networking with hiring partners. I have no doubt someone can become a dev in from no experience in 3 months, because I've seen it happen personally hundreds of times. But without the career services it is far more difficult to break in.

There seems to be a fair amount of hiring manager in this thread, so I wanted to ask a related question:

Is my current tech adjacent role preventing me from getting interviews as a developer?

I have been working in technology for over 15 years now. I am looking to switch but into software development and applying to roles that align very well with my past experiences and current ambitions. I've probably applied to 100 jobs and had 5 follow ups from companies! What could the issue be? My resume? Ageism? Current Role?

I think 3 months of full-time study is more that enough time to get the fundamentals of software development and land an entry level dev job. This is especially true when paired with a career preparation program.

Many bootcamps have 90+% verified placements rates after graduation
