About Dominic

I am a self-taught full-stack web developer. Having been through the struggle, I have empathy and respect for anyone on the journey! My goal is simple: to equip you with deep foundations in programming and web development. I have succeeded if you start to find advanced concepts "easy" (ok, maybe "easier" :)) extensions of basic ones. Strong foundations will allow you to plan your journey towards that first engineering role. I am a product engineer at an insuretech startup. I currently write TypeScript, React, and TailwindCSS all day every day. In previous lives I have been a financial economist, UX designer, non-profit and startup founder. I have a BSc in Economics from SOAS (University of London), an MPhil in Finance from Cambridge.

About the lesson

I aim to help you build a deep understanding of how JavaScript/TypeScript works under the hood. As one of my JS heroes says – "if you don't know why your code is working, you have no hope of fixing it when it breaks". Armed with an accurate mental model, advanced concepts become "easy" extensions of basic ones. We'll get precise about how JS runs our code: 1. The thread of execution 2. Memory and execution context 3. The call stack We'll dive into specific features: Some of the introductory topics we could cover - values - basic operations - types - variables - if / else / logical decision-making - functions - loops - working with native JS data structures (arrays/objects etc.) - browser APIs (the DOM, timers, etc.) And some of the more advanced topics we could cover - callbacks and higher-order functions - scope and closure - JS types and coercion - classes and prototypes - functional programming in JS - asynchronous JS (including promises and async/await) - iterators and generators - the Event Loop - intro to data structures & algorithms We'll practise the tools you'll need as a professional developer: - React - TypeScript - TailwindCSS - NodeJS - NextJS - databases - testing - authentication - deployment Typical lesson format 1. Whiteboarding We will do lots of whiteboarding/diagramming. It's a great way to test conceptual understanding and improve your technical communication. Strong technical communication will set you apart from many junior developers. 2. Pair programming One of the most effective ways to grow as an engineer. We will tackle problems together, taking turns as "driver" and "navigator". The driver types while the navigator verbalises the problem-solving strategy. 3. Unblocking you on your current project In between lessons you will work on a project involving the skills we cover. Face time is the chance for you to ask any questions about where you might be stuck.

Perfect! I am loving my lessons with Dominic! He really takes time to make sure I understand exactly how my code works. I consider myself a beginner, but Dominic has made a big difference in building my confidence in both JavaScript and problem solving in general. Thank you Dominic!

Perfect! Dominic is the type of tutor that will explain things to you in a way that you will fully understand. When I found myself not understanding a concept he was quickly able to pick up on it. He would then back up a few steps to go over the concept again. His explanation would show me exactly what my code was doing each step of the way. I have paid for a few other tutors prior to Dominic. I have never come across anyone with such a deep understanding of Javascript who teaches as well as he does! I definitely recommend!

Perfect! Excellent teacher. Patient and goes over the reasoning behind the code and not just the answer. Dominic knows what is happening under the hood in JS. His ability to impart his knowledge about JS to me has been critical in my development as a software engineer.
