Hi everybody, it's me again: the engineer behind the popular 'Free Developer Growth Call'.
After speaking with 20+ developers from all over the world, I realized something: career advice should be accessible to all (regardless of time, budget, or experience).
So today, I’m excited to launch the next phase: a 1-hour masterclass. It’s something close to my heart — something I believe can make a real difference for developers at all stages of their careers.
And yes: it’s completely free.
Why I'm Doing This
As I mentioned before, helping developers grow is what drives me.
Whether it’s unblocking someone who’s stuck, offering a fresh perspective, or bringing clarity in the chaos — we all need that from time to time.
Over the years, I’ve coached dozens of developers, helping them grow from “just coding” to “making impact.” And now, I’m bringing that experience together in one focused, high-energy session.
🎓 Introducing: The Beyond Commit Masterclass
From Developer to Impact Maker – 5 Keys to Career Growth Without Burning Out
You don’t need a new title to grow. You just need the right mindset, the right systems — and the right kind of support.
In this free 60-minute live masterclass, I’ll show you the frameworks I’ve used (and taught) to help developers grow sustainably.
5 Keys to Career Growth That Actually Work
These are the five principles we’ll unpack during the live masterclass:
1. Side Projects — Build for Growth, Not for GitHub
The right side project isn’t just a repo — it’s a sandbox for growth. I’ll show you how to choose projects that strengthen your visibility, impact, and learning focus.
2. Ownership — Act Like a Lead Before You Become One
Growth happens when you stop waiting for someone to tell you what to do. We’ll explore practical ways to take initiative and drive outcomes — no job title required.
3. Practical Tools — Work Smarter, Not Harder
Your growth depends on your systems.
I’ll share the same templates and frameworks I use with coaching clients: Growth Scan, Code Commandments, Review Templates, and Weekly Check-ins.
4. Mentorship — Don’t Grow Alone
Every great developer has someone who helped them see what they couldn’t.
We’ll talk about finding (and being) the right mentor — and how to make those relationships meaningful.
5. Master Soft Skills — Communicate Across Disciplines
Your impact grows the moment you start collaborating effectively with designers, PMs, and stakeholders.
Communication and empathy are what turn coders into leaders.

Final Thoughts
Whether you’re coding your first Hello World or leading a dev team, growth never stops. It’s not about titles, it’s about patterns — ownership, learning, reflection, and impact.
Sometimes all it takes is one new idea or conversation to unlock your next level.
See you at the masterclass 👋
Happy coding — and grow beyond code.
