About DeftMove by EverKnight

For software engineers with a next step in mind.

A space for software engineers to deepen their skills, prepare for top tech roles, increase their earning potential, and build products of their own.

Engineering skills for better roles and your own products.

Why DeftMove exists

Prepare for the work you want to do.

You might be aiming for a role at a leading tech company, more responsibility and better pay where you are, or a product you can build into a business. DeftMove is being built around those goals.

The connection is the work itself: understanding fundamentals, making technical decisions, finishing projects, and learning how products find users. We want the material here to help you practice those things, with examples you can read, run, and question.

How we approach the material

Work through the decisions, as well as the code.

01

Explain your decisions

Work through an idea until you can explain why an approach fits, what it costs, and when you would choose something else.

02

Practice beyond the interview

Use what you learn in a project: choose constraints, test the behavior, and write code that another engineer can understand.

03

Learn the product work

Look at the decisions around the code: who needs it, what to build first, and how to get a useful version into their hands.

04

Give yourself more options

Prepare for demanding engineering roles, build toward greater responsibility and pay, or work on a product you can own.

Available today

Start with the engineering library.

Articles and worked code are available now. Courses, guided projects, and developer tools are planned as the library grows, alongside more material on AI and building products.

Engineering articles

Start with algorithms and data structures, including binary search, merge sort, quick sort, and sorting within a memory budget.

Worked code examples

Follow the code alongside each explanation. Compare implementations, trace what happens, and examine the time and memory costs.

New material by email

Join the optional newsletter for new articles and updates as more learning material becomes available.
