The 12-Week Fast Lane to a Senior Android or KMP Developer
Get an individual mentorship from Philipp Lackner to acquire all technical skills needed on a senior-level at top companies. – I’ve already helped hundreds of Android developers find their dream job.
When Philipp was studying computer science, he felt like something wasn’t right with the conventional way of learning coding. The amount of theory that is taught in universities bothered him and made him think about shortcuts to learn what’s really needed in practice. Over time, he found mentors to learn from. Mentors who came straight out of practice. That was the game changer for him and his career.
While for most developers, DROP TABLE is just a command to delete a database table, Philipp’s reinterpretation is to drop what doesn’t move you forward and start doing what does. Learning takes time, but it shouldn’t take more time than necessary. That’s why Philipp decided to mentor a small group of very hungry and committed Android developers to become ready for the industry. The DROP TABLE mentoring is a direct result of that.
The DROP TABLE Mentoring is for Kotlin developers at least on a junior level wanting to master Android or KMP development to reach a senior level and justify 5 to 6-figure salaries even in today’s competitive job market.

Philipp Lackner has over 14 years of experience in the software field. Over the past years, he built a following of over 250,000 developers on social media who trust his work. With over 25,000 sold copies of his courses and 1,000h+ spent for teaching Android concepts, he already helped hundreds of thousands people to learn practical skills they can immediately apply.
He has a degree in computer science, however it didn’t go as expected. The amount of theory that was taught in university made him think about a better approach to learn what is really needed in the real world. Over time, Philipp found mentors who taught him exactly that in a practical setting. That was the game changer for his career.
After having worked for dozens of companies around the globe as a consultant, Philipp now wants to teach other Kotlin developers what really counts for becoming an outstanding developer in today’s competitive industry.
