About

Hello, I’m Dayo

I spent nine years in a shipping office before I learned to code, and I learned it late and in pieces. I remember how it felt to read a tutorial written for people who already knew everything. So I teach the way I wish I had been taught: small steps, real files, and a reason for every line.

I film at the desk in my living room, with a whiteboard behind me and a notebook of boxes and arrows. My students come from offices, shops, schools and warehouses. They are not trying to become experts overnight. They want to write one useful script, then another, and see where it leads.

What I sell are the things I use when I teach: exercise packs, a cheat sheet, a roadmap for a career change and two video courses, one for beginners and one for building small projects. I do not sell lessons or promise a job. I teach you to practise well, and to show your work.
