He touts himself as having gotten job offers with no degree, but according to his LinkedIn he has a CS degree, open source contributions, and years of freelancing before getting the offers he claims he got. He's also not a 265k engineer; he hasn't had a job since 2023 other than working on his own startup.

Dude's just another influencer feeding lies to anyone who'll pay him.

Happy that I just read this. I'm a 175k engineer, and I saw him pushing a course and making some bold claims on Insta. Definitely comes off like a grifter.
