Joey Pedicini

Learning software development can be challenging. There's no definitive right or wrong way to learn, but I firmly believe that anyone can learn if they're properly motivated.

When you begin work with me, we'll first discuss your current situation and your goals for mentorship. I tailor my mentorship depending on your individual situation, but my general structure is based around project development.

If we decide to work on project development, first I'll have you consider a problem in your daily life that software could potentially solve or improve. It might be an existing product that falls short of addressing your unique challenges. There are a variety of projects that my mentees have built: a habit tracker, an anonymous therapy app, a podcast summary generator, an online dog tag, a community prayer app, and the list goes on.

My teaching philosophy is to guide you in building your own project start to finish, following a typical structure you'd find in a professional environment. And throughout the process of building that project you will get a feel for what it could be like working in a professional setting, while also building something uniquely beneficial to you. You write the requirements, you decide the technology to build with, and you control the pace and how the project will advance as you advance.

Everyone has a unique background and unique interests. Finding a place for you to shine your brightest is my ultimate goal.
