About me
Hi, I'm Maya! I've been building for the web for 12 years, most recently as a senior engineer on the payments team at Stripe. Before that I worked at two early-stage startups, where I learned how to ship fast and explain things simply.
I started teaching at local coding meetups in 2016, and I've been hooked ever since. My courses are built around one idea: you learn to code by writing code. Expect short videos, lots of tiny exercises and projects you'll actually want to show people.
When I'm not coding or teaching, you'll find me climbing, baking sourdough or trying to convince my cat to sit still for a photo.

Maya explains things like a friend sitting next to you. Closures finally make sense to me.

The React course projects got me through three technical interviews. Worth every cent.
