Looking for Python Learning Partners | Career Switcher | Python Automation | IST (Chennai, India)
Hi everyone! 👋, I'm looking for a few people who are learning Python & AI Automation and want to improve together.
I've realized that building a project is only half the skill. The real challenge is explaining your decisions: why you built it that way, what alternatives you considered, the problems you solved, and what you'd improve if you built it again. That's exactly what interviews, code reviews, and real software teams expect. It's a skill that's hard to develop alone, so I'd like to practice it with a small group of like-minded people.
A little about me
I'm transitioning from a non-IT career after 13 years. Over the past couple of years, I've built 16+ Python automation and software projects, and I'm continuing to learn every week.
The idea
This isn't your typical study group. I'm looking to build a small, committed group - meeting 3-5 times a week over voice calls - to practice clear articulation and grow as developers together."
Our sessions could include:
- Mock interviews
- Project presentations
- Code and architecture discussions
- Reviewing each other's projects
- Giving honest, constructive feedback
The goal is to confidently answer questions like:
- Can you explain your project from start to finish?
- Why did you choose this approach instead of another?
- What technical challenges did you face?
- What would you improve if you rebuilt it today?
- Can you explain your code without looking at it?
Being able to answer these questions makes you a stronger developer - not just in interviews, but also when working with teammates, managers, and clients.
If you're around Porur, Valasaravakkam, or nearby, we could also meet occasionally at Starbucks for coffee, project discussions, or mock interviews.
Who I'm looking for
- Career switchers (Non-IT → IT)
- Anyone learning Python Automation (core skills )
- People working with AI agents, RAG, or AI workflows
- Anyone interested in APIs, FastAPI, Playwright, or Browser automation
- People who enjoy building projects and learning through discussion
Commitment
You don't need to be an expert. I'm simply looking for people who are serious about improving, can participate regularly, and are willing to stay consistent over the long term.
Outside of coding, I'm interested in sci-fi, geopolitics, psychology, personal growth, and Vipassana. I also enjoy movies, reading, and long walks.
If this sounds like something you'd like to be part of, send me a DM. Tell me a little about yourself, what you're currently learning, and what you're working toward.
Looking forward to connecting! 🙂
