The core of Campfires

Campfires helps developers grow beyond code — through coaching, courses, and a peer-driven community. We work with individuals and companies to build the skills that fuel real progress.

Practical Learning

From self-paced courses to hands-on assignments, everything is designed to build soft skills in real-world developer contexts.

Peer Community

Join a community of developers who are growing together: through live sessions, async channels, and shared insights.

Team Enablement

We help companies support their dev teams through custom coaching tracks, soft skill workshops and cohort programs.

Hi, I’m Tim.

I’m a developer and mentor with 7+ years of experience across teams, companies, and freelance projects. From junior to team lead, I’ve walked the path myself.

Alongside working with clients, I mentor developers via HackYourFuture, host growth sessions, and write about the real stuff no one teaches you: like communication, ownership, and how to deal with doubt.

Campfires was born from a simple frustration: there’s enough content about code, but not enough about growing as a developer. I’m here to fix that.
