Ioana Comsa
// Full Stack Developer · London, UK 🇬🇧
THE STORY
Ioana’s Path To Senior
- 01
Ioana had seen enough bootcamp marketing to know the difference between selling a course and wanting a result.
- 02
This was the second kind. Coaches tracked her progress on the fundamentals, architecture, and interviews. And pushed when it mattered.
- 03
Gaps closed. Interviews sharpened.
- 04
New full-stack role in London, salary up. 'You guys really want us to succeed.' Her words.

THE SENIOR JOURNEY
The senior skills Ioana built
Getting to senior isn’t about learning another framework. Ioana’s path covered the dimensions that actually move an engineer up a level — the same areas theSeniorDev coaches every member through:
System Design & Frontend System Design
Ioana learned to lead system design and frontend system design discussions — scalability, data flow, and architecture trade-offs — the conversations that separate a senior full stack developer from a mid-level one.
Technical & Live-Coding Interviews
Instead of memorising answers, Ioana built a repeatable process for technical interviews, live-coding challenges, and take-home tasks — shipping production-ready solutions under pressure.
Fundamentals: Testing, Performance & Software Architecture
Ioana went deep on the senior fundamentals — testing, performance, and software architecture — and the mental models that outlast any framework or library.
The Full Software Lifecycle: Backend & Cloud
Moving beyond the framework, Ioana grew across the full stack — backend and cloud — to deliver end-to-end and become the go-to engineer on the team.
Selling Yourself & Communicating Senior-Level Value
Ioana learned to communicate real engineering value — a senior-level CV, LinkedIn, and STAR interview stories — so the level showed long before the offer landed.
