Custom workshops

I provide training tailored to customer's needs.

Areas of expertise:

✔️ .NET/MS Web Stack;

✔️ JavaScript/React.js;

✔️ Cloud/DevOps/Kubernetes/Azure/GCP;

✔️ Managing teams and all the related teamwork stuff.

You can refer to some sample outlines I provide below to give you a better idea of what I can cover and also help you find this page. The outlines are for example only, and I will need to prepare the materials to provide the training, so it's going to be more expensive as compared to the prepackaged workshops I provide, but still cost-effective. The exact budget will depend on your needs, event format, time frame and the audience.If you see something covering 30% of what you are looking for, there is a fair chance I will be able to provide the custom training. E.g. I you see something "Advanced", I can cover "Basics" and vice versa. Please, don't hesitate to fill the form or write me an email to find out.
