👋 What is The Dev Angel?
The Dev Angel is a personal brainchild of Anubhav Gupta — a skills school and mentorship programme that transforms college students into real-world product builders.
We don't teach theory. We build, ship, and sell an actual product together — then every rupee it earns flows back into the community: courses, resources, and laptops for students who need them.
🔨 Build
A real native mobile app from scratch — no toy tutorials, no lorem ipsum.
📣 Market
Position, pitch, and promote like a founder. Real go-to-market strategy.
💸 Sell
Ship to the app store. Talk to real users. Earn real money.
🔄 Reinvest
Revenue → courses, paid resources, laptops for the community.

HARD LIMIT — No Exceptions. Not even close friends.
⚠️
Why exactly 10 and not one more?
Last time we exceeded 10 students — quality of mentorship dropped, the product suffered, and nobody had a good time. This limit is sacred and non-negotiable.
🛠️ What We're Building This Summer
Journal + Knowledge Quiz — a native mobile app that combines personal journaling with spaced-repetition learning quizzes. Think: your diary meets your flashcard deck, built as a polished, shippable product.

ABOUT ANUBHAV GUPTA
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Software Engineer · Founder · Mentor
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Hey. I'm Anubhav Gupta.
I build AI-powered products and developer tooling for a
living — and I run The Dev Angel because I think the best
way to learn software engineering is to ship something real.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT I DO
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Software Engineer — MagicPhotos / InstaHeadshots
Building AI-driven photo generation and editing
systems. Real inference pipelines, real users,
real scale.
Founder — WPrise (wprise.ai)
AI-assisted WordPress tooling: safer deployments,
automated conflict handling, infrastructure that
doesn't break at 3am.
Skills I actually use day-to-day:
Python · Django · React / Next.js · Docker
PostgreSQL · AWS · WordPress internals
AI product engineering · DevOps & monitoring
═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHY THE DEV ANGEL EXISTS
═══════════════════════════════════════════
I got tired of watching talented students graduate
with zero real-world skills.
They could recite algorithms but couldn't ship a
product. They'd never talked to a customer. Never
had to care whether something actually worked in
production.
So I started The Dev Angel — a skills school where
the whole point is to build something real, sell it,
and learn every hard thing along the way.
Every summer and winter (whenever students have
holidays from college), I take exactly 10 people
and we build a product from scratch together.
Not a tutorial. Not a clone. Something that goes
out into the world.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHY ONLY 10 STUDENTS
═══════════════════════════════════════════
I tried more once. Quality dropped.
I couldn't give everyone proper attention.
The product suffered. Nobody had a good time.
10 is the limit. Always.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT I BELIEVE
═══════════════════════════════════════════
→ Ship ugly. Iterate fast.
→ Revenue is the only real validation.
→ Talk to users before writing line 1.
→ Skin in the game beats any tutorial.
→ A finished product beats a perfect plan.
