THE STORY
Michael’s Path To Senior

He removed the luck: JavaScript, React, architecture. Drilled with interview practice until there were no gaps for the questions to land on.
- 03
'I was confident I can answer any interview question.' His words.

“I was confident I can answer any interview question.”
THE SENIOR JOURNEY
The senior skills Michael built
Getting to senior isn’t about learning another framework. Michael’s path covered the dimensions that actually move an engineer up a level — the same areas theSeniorDev coaches every member through:
System Design & Frontend System Design
Michael learned to lead system design and frontend system design discussions — scalability, data flow, and architecture trade-offs — the conversations that separate a senior frontend developer from a mid-level one.
Technical & Live-Coding Interviews
Instead of memorising answers, Michael built a repeatable process for technical interviews, live-coding challenges, and take-home tasks — shipping production-ready solutions under pressure.
Fundamentals: Testing, Performance & Software Architecture
Michael went deep on the senior fundamentals — testing, performance, and software architecture — and the mental models that outlast any framework or library.
CS Foundations: Data Structures & Algorithms
Michael closed the data structures and algorithms gaps that self-taught and bootcamp paths leave behind, and started solving problems by reasoning rather than recall.
Selling Yourself & Communicating Senior-Level Value
Michael learned to communicate real engineering value — a senior-level CV, LinkedIn, and STAR interview stories — so the level showed long before the offer landed.
