Course overview
You sat through another meeting today feeling totally lost as the devs threw around terms like “rate limits” and “microservices”.
Every time you have to make decisions that impact an engineer’s implementation, you feel like you’re on the back foot and struggling to keep up with the details.
After you hand off a feature to engineering, you have no idea if it will be delivered the way you're expecting.
You can feel confident, you just need the right plan.
The reason most PMs can’t improve their technical skills is that they follow random online tutorials with no real plan or guidance. Or try to go from zero to 100 overnight by upskilling on complex topics - only to give up feeling frustrated and disappointed.
That’s why this cohort is designed to help you build a foundational understanding of software applications. You won’t just memorize a bunch of terms - you’ll actually understand how software products are designed and deployed to handle millions of users.
And our community will be here to give you the support, guidance, and accountability you’ll need to finally stick with it.
After only 4 weeks, you’ll look back and think.. “WOW! I can’t believe I did that.”
Now imagine if you could:
✅ Master technical concepts without getting lost in an internet maze.
✅ Stop asking engineers to dumb down concepts when talking to you.
✅ Predict risks, anticipate issues, and avoid endless back-and-forth.
✅ Improve your communication with engineers, users, and technical stakeholders

Product Manager @ Datavant
I’ve had my fair share of doubt when it came to technical skills. From flunking out of my first software engineering interview, to struggling to build my own SaaS products for years, I always felt like an imposter.
After hundreds of hours of self study and online courses, everything clicked when I was able to pull back from the low-level details and build a comprehensive view of the entire software stack. Learning these skills has helped me anticipate risks and communicate more effectively with engineers.
Now, I want to help you do the same.
Today, I work as a product manager leading a team building America's largest health data ecosystem. I make high-impact decisions daily that require deep technical comprehension.
8500+ students have taken my courses on Udemy and Pluralsight with a 4.5/5 average rating.
I've built and sold a SaaS product as a team of one - from application development, to marketing and sales.
