How to use it

Learn → build → prove.

01

Follow the phases in order. Open a checkpoint when you're ready to dive deeper.

02

Use the build checkpoints to turn concepts into working projects.

03

Mark progress locally and use the final phase to turn learning into evidence.

Roadmap notes Read the reasoning behind the sequence

How to use this roadmap

Move from programming and DSA into core computer science, backend systems, delivery, and system design. Open checkpoints for details and build the capstone before interview preparation.

What this path optimizes for

Reliable software, clear engineering trade-offs, maintainable code, and strong problem-solving fundamentals.

Progress rule

Do not rush past the fundamentals. You can move faster through familiar topics, but the engineering layers build on one another.
