Positioning
I’m Prabhat Giri, a full-stack software engineer based in the United Kingdom. My focus is mentoring students, bootcamp graduates, and junior developers (typically 0–3 years) so they can excel in real-world delivery — not just tutorials, but how teams ship, review code, and grow careers.
UK tech communities respond well to meetup-style learning, workshops, and peer networking. I sit at the intersection of education and community: 1:1 guidance, small groups, and public talks so learning feels connected and repeatable.
Who this is for
Clear segments — messaging changes slightly for each, so we work on the right problems.
University students
CS / software engineering / related courses. Confidence, coursework projects, internships, and first applications.
Bootcamp graduates
First role focus: portfolio polish, interview practice, and understanding what employers actually ask for.
Junior developers (0–3 years)
Code quality, teamwork, promotion paths, system basics, and interview readiness for the next step.
Career switchers & societies
Structured onboarding into professional engineering, plus support for student societies and coding groups.
What I offer
Three layers so it feels structured, not ad hoc:
- 1:1 mentorship — projects, interviews, portfolio reviews, career planning (paid or pro bono slots for students where possible).
- Small-group sessions — full-stack fundamentals, system design basics, debugging, deployment, and “how to work like a professional engineer.”
- Talks & panels — tech, product, and career topics to grow the network and attract future mentees.
Menu of formats
- 1:1 mentorship (paid or pro bono)
- Monthly group workshop
- Quarterly talk or panel
- CV and interview clinics
- Open office hours for students
How it works
Mentorship model
A repeatable 6–8 week block: one intake, one clear goal, weekly ~45-minute sessions, and a measurable outcome — e.g. project shipped, portfolio improved, or interview readiness.
- Intake — align on goals and current level.
- Goal — define one concrete outcome for the block.
- Weekly sessions — review progress and unblock.
- Between sessions — small practical tasks.
- Final review — feedback and next steps.
Talks & meetups
Events
Start local, add online sessions to reach people across the UK. A typical evening:

Partnerships
I’m keen to work with university societies, bootcamps, coding clubs, and meetup organisers — guest talks, mentoring workshops, and inclusive, practical sessions for members. If that sounds useful for your community, get in touch below.
