This course was born from a very real need I've observed over the years, both while managing front-end developers directly and through conversations and interviews with people from other companies. Again and again, I noticed the same challenges repeating themselves.
In today's fast-changing front-end landscape, especially with the rise of AI, clients expect more from us. And it's not only about writing good code. They're looking for T-shaped developers, professionals with strong technical foundations, but also complementary skills like communication, ownership, adaptability, and the ability to clearly articulate ideas.
The last few years changed everything. The pandemic accelerated remote work, reshaped collaboration, and forced companies worldwide to rethink how they hire and manage developers. Right after that, AI tools became mainstream, automating many repetitive coding tasks and offering ready-made solutions.
What this means is simple:
Developers are now expected to bring more than just code. Clients want professionals who can think critically, adapt quickly, and add value that AI alone cannot provide, communication, teamwork, ownership, and structured problem-solving.
From my experience, after years of observing developers in Romania, I've noticed a common pattern:
This isn't about knowledge, it's cultural. In Romania we grow up with the mindset: “A head that bows won't be cut.” We're often too humble, too shy, and that doesn't translate well in a client interview.
We tend to say things like “we'll try” or “we'll see.”
In our minds, these mean: “We'll do everything it takes, we'll solve your problem.”
But in the client's mind, it sounds like: “This developer won't take ownership, I'll need to chase them for updates.”
Words matter. How we present ourselves matters.
It's one thing when you interview for a Romanian-based company, people understand the cultural context. But even in Romania, many companies run structured interviews in English. Once you're hired, you're not “safe” from interviews. In outsourcing, you'll often face even more interviews because your company needs to sell you for new projects. That's simply the business model. Nothing shady, it provides stability for developers while the company finds projects. But it also means you must be ready to constantly prove yourself to new clients.
This course is not just for you, it's also for me. After months or years buried in tickets and delivery work, we sometimes “pull our heads out of the sand” like ostriches and realize:
The truth is, most of us know far more than we manage to showcase in interviews. That's why I created this course: to help Romanian developers in outsourcing refresh their skills, structure their communication, and present themselves clearly.
It's not about pretending to be someone else. It's about learning how to show what you already know in a way that builds confidence and trust with clients.
At its core, this course is about one thing:
Bridging the gap between the skills you already have and the way you present them.
