ABOUT US • WHO WE ARE

Bridging the Gap Between Academic Theory and Engineering Reality

Lead With Skills is a collective of Senior Engineers, Product Managers, and CTOs dedicated to rebuilding technical education.

We don't just teach courses; we simulate the real-world engineering environments of top tech companies.

Engineering Competence Over Certificates

In an industry flooded with theoretical courses, we stand for practical application.

True engineering capability isn't built in a lecture hall. It is built by solving messy, real-world problems under the guidance of those who have solved them before.

We focus on competence: The ability to walk into a job on Day 1 and deploy code, debug production issues, and contribute value immediately.

Our mission is to produce engineers and leaders who don't just "know" technology, but can build with it, scale it, and lead with it.

Our Origin: From Community to Academy

Mentorship session in progress

Lead With Skills began in 2020 as an exclusive network of practitioners—'Design Sundays'—where professionals could trade insights on system design and architecture.

We quickly realized a systemic issue: Most "bootcamps" were being taught by career trainers who hadn't shipped production code in years. Graduates were learning outdated syntax, not engineering principles.

We decided to institutionalize our mentorship. We replaced "trainers" with active practitioners. We replaced "assignments" with live production simulations.

Today, we function less like a school and more like a distributed engineering team. We prepare our members not just to pass interviews, but to excel in the roles they land.
