Full-Stack Software
Developer Bootcamp
This isn't a traditional bootcamp. As a Senior Engineer in Tokyo, I designed this syllabus to teach you not just how to write code, but how to architect full-stack systems and manage AI agents (OpenCode) to work 10x faster. We focus on Global Standards, Zero-Cost Cloud Deployment, and Interview Readiness.

Varis Darasirikul
Founder & CEO of Varis Lab
Over the past decade, I've built my career as a Software Engineer, working across 4 countries with leading corporations and startups. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Hong Kong, and today, I'm based in Tokyo working in AI and software development. 🇹🇭 🇭🇰 🇩🇪 🇯🇵
I've been on both sides of the table — as a candidate facing tough interviews and as part of teams hiring globally. This gives me unique insights into what international recruiters actually look for.

Common Questions
FAQ
Do I need a technical background or coding experience?
No prior coding experience or technical degree is required. The bootcamp starts from absolute zero and builds up progressively. All you need is a laptop, dedication, and the willingness to learn. Career changers from non-tech fields are welcome — many of our students come from completely different industries.
What does the bootcamp schedule look like?
The bootcamp runs part-time over 14 weeks: Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 20:00–22:00, and Saturday mornings from 09:00–12:00. That's 7 hours per week of live classes — 98 hours total. The schedule is designed so working professionals can attend without taking time off.
Is this live or self-paced?
All classes are live and online with a real instructor — this is not a pre-recorded video course. You can ask questions, pair-program, and get real-time feedback during every session. Recordings are also available if you need to review material later.
Can I work full-time while attending?
Yes — this bootcamp is specifically designed for working professionals. Classes are held on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings so you can keep your job while building new skills. Most of our students work full-time throughout the program.
Who is the instructor?
The bootcamp is taught by a Senior Engineer based in Tokyo with hands-on production experience building full-stack systems and AI-powered applications. You'll learn directly from someone who ships real products — not just theory.
What laptop/specs do I need?
Any laptop from the last 5 years will work. We recommend at least 8 GB RAM and a modern browser (Chrome or Edge). Mac, Windows, or Linux are all fine — we use VS Code and the terminal for everything.
What if I miss a class?
Every session is recorded and uploaded to the private Discord within 24 hours. You can catch up at your own pace, and the instructor is available for questions during the week.
Do I need to know English?
Classes are taught in Thai, but all code, documentation, and tooling are in English. Basic reading-level English is sufficient — we help you build technical English fluency as part of the program.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. We offer a 6-installment plan at no extra cost. Contact us for details during your free consultation.
What happens after the bootcamp?
You keep lifetime access to the Discord community, recordings, and future curriculum updates. Alumni also get priority access to mock interview sessions and job referral networks.
