Course overview
Software engineering lessons from the front lines
In this course, I will share all the (hard-learned) lessons I acquired building and maintaining software used on a daily basis by millions of people.
This course is not theoretical and covers practical topics you go through and can apply in a typical software engineering day to day.
This course is divided into three parts:
1) Building Software: Code Reviews, Unit testing, Engineering Requirements Document
2) Maintaining Software: Observability & Monitoring, Outage Management, Release Management, Migrations, Monolith/Microservices
3) Team & Culture: Project Management, Conducting Technical Interviews, Onboarding Team Members, Software Engineering Career Ladders

Georges El Khoury
Software Engineer - ex: Uber, Airbnb and Microsoft
I have built, maintained and supported software in production for big companies and early stage startups.
I designed and implemented software that is used on a daily basis by millions of people.
I was the lead engineer on the Uber offer (dispatch) flow - a critical part of an Uber trip - and Uber for Business.
I conducted thousands of code and design reviews, was part of teams that multiplied in size and was the engineer in charge during global outages.
I enjoy writing elegant code and turning ideas into working software.
I write software engineering articles on my newsletter: Software Engineering Tidbits.
I am passionate about teaching and mentoring. It is one of the main reason I am teaching this course. One of the best feedback I get out of this course is I am applying a lot of what I learned in my day to day.
