Learn Mobile Performance From People Who Actually Do It

Our training program connects you with engineers who spend their days optimizing app performance for real businesses across Cambodia and Southeast Asia. They've worked through the problems you'll face, and they know how to explain what actually matters.

We built this program because good mobile performance education was hard to find here. Most courses teach theory. Ours teaches the practical skills that companies actually need right now.

Veasna Prak teaching mobile optimization techniques

Veasna Prak

Android Performance Lead

Spent six years optimizing apps for markets with limited connectivity. Veasna worked on reducing app size by 60% for a banking client last year. He'll show you how memory management actually works on older devices.

Kosal Dim demonstrating network optimization

Kosal Dim

Network Efficiency Specialist

Kosal helps apps work better on unreliable networks. His techniques cut data usage in half for a delivery platform used by 200,000 people. You'll learn his approach to API optimization and caching strategies that hold up in real conditions.

Rattanak Chea reviewing code optimization

Rattanak Chea

Cross-Platform Performance

Works with both native and hybrid frameworks. Rattanak reduced startup time by 70% for an e-commerce app earlier this year. He teaches the debugging methods that help you find problems fast, not just fix symptoms.

How We Actually Teach This Stuff

We don't lecture at you for three hours then send you home with homework. Every session focuses on a specific performance problem. You'll work on it with your instructor right there to answer questions and catch mistakes early.

Most sessions start with a broken or slow app. Your job is to profile it, find the bottlenecks, and fix them. We use real anonymized codebases from actual client projects, so you're working with the kind of messy, legacy code you'll encounter in any real job.

Between sessions, you'll have projects to complete on your own schedule. But you're not alone with them. Our instructors hold office hours three times a week where you can get unstuck. And there's a chat group where people help each other out.

  • Work directly with code from real production apps
  • Get immediate feedback on your optimization decisions
  • Learn profiling tools by actually using them, not watching demos
  • Build a portfolio of performance improvements you can show employers
  • Practice explaining technical decisions clearly

Program Timeline and Structure

Our next cohort starts September 2025 and runs for four months. Classes meet twice weekly in the evenings, with additional project work you complete on your own time. Expect to invest 12-15 hours per week total.

1

Foundation Month

Weeks 1-4: September 2025

You'll learn to measure performance properly before trying to improve it. We cover profiling tools, metrics that matter, and how to set up proper testing environments. By the end of this phase, you can identify what's actually slow and what just looks slow.

  • Android Studio Profiler and Xcode Instruments fundamentals
  • Network analysis with Charles Proxy and similar tools
  • Battery and memory profiling techniques
  • Setting performance budgets that make sense
2

Core Optimization Phase

Weeks 5-12: October-November 2025

This is where you learn to fix problems. Each week focuses on a different performance area. You'll optimize real apps with guidance, make mistakes in a safe environment, and understand why certain approaches work better than others.

  • UI rendering optimization and layout efficiency
  • Background task management and threading strategies
  • Image loading, caching, and memory management
  • Database query optimization and data persistence
  • Network request batching and retry logic
  • Startup time reduction techniques

Real-World Project Month

Weeks 13-16: December 2025

You'll take an actual app with performance problems and improve it from start to finish. This includes profiling, planning your approach, implementing optimizations, measuring results, and documenting what you did. Your instructors review your work like they would a colleague's code.

  • Complete performance audit of a production-style app
  • Create optimization plan with prioritized improvements
  • Implement changes and measure impact
  • Present your work and explain technical decisions
  • Build portfolio materials you can show potential employers

Next Cohort Starts September 2025

We're taking applications now for our autumn program. Space is limited to 15 students so everyone gets proper attention. If you have basic mobile development experience and want to get significantly better at performance optimization, this might be right for you.
