Your developer growth journey starts here. Campfires offers coaching, guidance and peer support for devs who want to go beyond just writing code.
Why Campfires.dev
Campfires is where motivated developers take their next step: through practical content, personal coaching, and a supportive community. All guided by someone who’s walked the path before.
“I want to grow, but I don’t know what to focus on.”
Campfires helps you map out a personal growth plan, based on your goals and context.
“My job doesn’t really support my development.”
That’s why we offer coaching and a cohort: so you're not relying solely on your company.
“I’m confident with code, but I struggle with soft skills.”
We’ll help you master communication, feedback and leadership through real examples and support.
“I feel stuck in a mid-level role.”
You’re not alone. Campfires is here to help you break through with structure, reflection and peers.
The Program
Campfires is the growth platform for developers ready to level up and grow beyond code. Through practical lessons, coaching, and a supportive community, you will grow with intention.

Saurabh R., Software Engineer
“Tim helped me navigate the challenges I think I was facing. 'Think' is a key word, because Tim helped me realize that it's just a version of impostor syndrome and all in the head, and provided actionable insights on how to get out of this mental block and move forward.”
Meet the founder
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.
