About
Learn from someone who builds.
The Basics Cohort (TBC) is run by Sachin Sharma — a teacher, former software engineer, and the founder of Wicklog. Every cohort is taught live, in small groups, by building and shipping real products.
Live, not recorded
Programming is best learned with a teacher you can interrupt.
Ship, don't just study
You learn what you need by building something real and putting it in front of users.
Skills over certificates
A live product speaks louder than a PDF.
Your instructor
Hi, I'm Sachin.
I'm a teacher, an ex-software engineer, and the founder of Wicklog, a product I build on the side. I teach every TBC cohort myself, live.
I don't teach from a textbook. Everything in a TBC cohort is what I use to build and run Wicklog — taking an idea, shipping it, and getting it to real users. You learn the same workflow, on a product of your own.
Building Wicklog
Alongside teaching, I'm the founder of Wicklog, which I build part-time. Wicklog is where I practise everything I teach: picking a problem worth solving, cutting it down to something small enough to ship, building it quickly with AI, and then doing the hard part — getting real people to use it and pay for it.
That's why TBC cohorts end with a launched product, not a certificate. I want you to leave with what I wish I'd had when I started: the confidence to take your own idea from a blank screen to a live product, and the habits to keep improving it.
Before Wicklog
I worked as a software engineer, building frontend products at a cloud-based startup. I studied Computer Engineering — a Diploma with distinction, then a Bachelor's at SIST.
Why I teach
There are millions of things to learn for any skill, and nobody has figured out all of them. Everybody knows a thing or two, so I pass on what I know, and help you get good at figuring out the rest yourself.
