About Coachly
A programming and AI coaching practice led by a working software engineer.
Coachly is run by Dhananjay Panage, a full-time software engineer with 3+ years building production systems — modern backends in Python and FastAPI, React/Next.js frontends, and agentic AI pipelines (LangGraph, RAG, vector search) running on AWS.
As the senior-most backend engineer on small teams, I’ve owned architecture, database design, deployment, and code review end-to-end — including building a multi-agent research engine, designing event-driven systems with zero critical production incidents over a 22-month tenure, and cutting real API latency from ~1s to 200–300ms by profiling and rethinking queries.
Alongside building software, I’ve spent years coaching school and college students in programming, helping them go from “I’m not sure I can code” to “I can actually build things.” That mix of real production work and teaching shapes how Coachly teaches: clear fundamentals, lots of examples, and honest conversations about how software really works.
B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering, with competitive-programming experience and a habit of explaining hard things simply.
How we teach
Concepts before shortcuts.
We emphasize understanding over memorizing code from the internet.
Do, not just watch.
Students type and debug code themselves in every session.
Projects, not just worksheets.
We always aim to connect topics to visible outcomes—a game, a script, a simple app.
Honest about AI.
We show students how to use AI tools responsibly, not to cheat.
Who we serve
Coachly currently works with:
- Middle and high-school students across the US and Europe (and their parents).
- Working professionals and career-switchers leveling up in AI engineering, backend, and system design.
- Schools using US/AP/IB curricula that need remote coding and AI programs.
