From unemployed graduate student to a freelance automation engineer
”I landed my first freelance client fully remote in Germany. Olga showed me how the whole game works, how to find a job, what you need to do.”
— Artem | Automation Engineer, Freelance
From UGC Creator and SMM to Developer Relations Engineer at an AI startup and Tech Content Creator
“I landed a developer relations role at an AI startup and skyrocketed my salary. I couldn’t have done it without Olga.”
— Melissa | DevRel Engineer at an AI startup, Technical UGC Creator
From psychologist to a software engineer at a mental health AI unicorn
“I landed a full stack developer role with a back end leading at a psychology focused company and they were looking for someone who knows full stack and has a psychology background. It was a perfect match for me. I didn't even know roles like that existed and I love everything about it and I have doubled my salary which is the nicest bonus for me. I always wanted to work as a software developer but never thought it was possible coming from a completely different field.”
— Valeria | Full-Stack Software Engineer at a Mental Health AI Unicorn

✍️
Corporate Career
Started my career at Cosmopolitan, then moved to Condé Nast Creative Studio (Vogue, GQ, Wired). I was doing well — but the industry wasn't for me. I wanted to build things.
🌍
Berlin Move
Moved to Berlin. It changed everything. Startup capital — creative, technical, full of opportunity. Did a Master's while working part-time as a developer.
📈
Audible (Amazon Company)
Landed a job at Audible in an analytical role — where I saw how great products get built inside a major tech company. Amazing experience.
👩💻
Software Agency, Building Production-ready Software
Got another software developer role, then joined Ambient Innovation — a software consultancy doing real client work. First fully remote position. TypeScript, Python, production-grade projects. Learned so many great things!
⚡
Senior Role at an AI Startup / Freelance
After years in corporate, a Senior Software Engineer contract came in from an AI startup. I said yes, went freelance, and never looked back.
🎓
CS Degree
Studied a Computer Science degree remotely — my third diploma. Algorithms, linear algebra, data structures. Hard, but worth it.
🧝♀️
Coding Elf - Tech Content Creation, 125K Followers
Built Coding Elf Social Media Platform to help others make the same transition — faster and with less confusion than I had. I was told I'd never make it as a programmer. I never listened.
💡
10 Years In
10 years in the industry across software engineering, and freelancing. AI is changing what's possible — but you still need to understand what you're building.
🤝
Mentorship / Coding Elf Academy
The best investment I made early on was getting mentors. They accelerated everything — technically and psychologically. Now I'm giving that back. I’ll teach you everything I know and help you get hired as a software engineer.
