Watch our lesson on simplifying complex code
Learn to recognize the telltale signs of over-engineering in your code, from premature abstractions to unnecessary design patterns that add complexity without value.
Our experienced instructors share real-world examples of over-engineering they've encountered and provide practical strategies for avoiding these pitfalls in your own work.
Practice simplifying over-engineered code through our step-by-step tutorials that teach you to write clean, maintainable solutions that are just complex enough for the problem at hand.
Examine real-world examples of over-engineering and learn how to refactor them into elegant, efficient solutions that your team will appreciate and future developers will thank you for.
Whether you work in JavaScript, Python, Java, or C++, our principles of avoiding over-engineering apply across all languages, with specific examples for each.
Develop an intuitive sense for the right level of engineering for any problem. Learn when to keep it simple and when more complex solutions are truly justified.
You're implementing complex design patterns for simple problems that could be solved with straightforward code
You're creating layers of abstraction "just in case" they might be needed in the future
You're spending more time designing the architecture than solving the actual business problem
Your teammates struggle to understand your code because of its unnecessary complexity
You find yourself writing extensive documentation to explain your overly complex solutions
“After going through all the lessons, I gained the necessary skills to perform well at my on-sites. I crushed even the DP problems, which were my biggest fear. And thanks to that I landed offers from Microsoft and Uber. Thank you AlgoCademy!”
Cristina Radulescu
Senior Software Engineer at Uber
“AlgoCademy really helped me improve my problem solving skills and write incredibly clean code. I was worried it wouldn’t be done in time for my coding interviews, but the way the curriculum is structured made me progress very quickly. Thanks for your work!”
Connor Holland
Software Engineer at Vanguard
“Wow. I’ve been using AlgoCademy for a while and now I can finally solve coding questions on my own. This gave me the confidence I needed for my interviews, and guess what? I landed the offer at Samsung! You guys truly kick ass. High fives!”
Ankit Kumar
Software Engineer at Samsung

Software Engineer & Instructor
Andrei has represented Romania in many international competitive programming contests. His highest achievement to date is winning the bronze medal at the Central European Olympiad in Informatics.
Andrei has also worked for Amazon and Keystone. Since 2015, he’s been training students for the International Olympiad and preparing aspiring engineers to crush their coding interviews.
Fun fact: Andrei has a YouTube Channel and had the highest-rated course on Udemy before AlgoCademy was born.
Founder & CEO/CTO
Mircea has worked as a Software Engineer at companies including Facebook, Adobe, Ubisoft, and two NYC startups.
He has built many innovative products using algorithms and data structures, such as Autocorrect and Swipe Typing for the iOS keyboard, Music Recommendation Engine, and Real-Time Optimal Exchange Algorithm. Mircea has been a coding interview and competitive programming coach for over a decade.

Yes! The content is designed to cover everything you might encounter in coding interviews. We start with simple loops and statements and move to famous algorithms and data structures, as well as how they apply to the interview questions these companies ask. Our graduates tell us how many of our questions get asked by companies all the time!
Beginners welcome! While we do assume a very basic general understanding of how computers store variables and loops, you don’t have to worry about anything else. You’ll learn the rest here. It’s also going to be easier than you think!
The original inspiration for AlgoCademy came from helping a friend who quit his job as a singer to follow his dream. We’ve always had beginners and self-taught programmers in mind (as well as CS majors) while building our content. We can meet you on your level and take you from there!
No drip-feeding here! You get access to everything inside AlgoCademy right away. Jump in and start making use of the training without having to wait for something to be released to you. We also regularly update and add new material, so your content library will continue to grow alongside your knowledge.
You do not need to know any specific language to benefit from our lessons. Our explanations focus mostly on core intuition and pseudocode so that every coder out there, no matter the language, will understand everything.
Every day you hold off on membership is another day you’re not working toward your dream job. It’s time for you to take action. We provide the answers to all of your questions, including the ones you don’t know you have yet, that will pave the way to a high-paying programming job. Becoming a member will help you find the support, community, and most importantly, accountability necessary to reach your goals.
AlgoCademy is the place where you can find all of these things. If you are ready to make a difference in your life, the time is now. Simple as that.
The average base salary of a software engineer is $110,464, according to Indeed, and the average total compensation for FAANG companies is over $250k, according to levels.fyi.
The better you perform in your interview, the more desirable you become, therefore giving you the power to negotiate compensation. You’ll also get to work at your dream job every day alongside top-tier software engineers. It’s hard to put a number on all of that, but we think it’s worth it.
We don't offer refunds under any circumstance. You can try out our free coding tutorials before deciding to subscribe.
Obviously, we’d love it if all of our members stuck around forever. We’ve worked with students for long enough to know that it’s never going to happen. If we’ve done our job right, we should be saying goodbye to our students as they go off to start their new careers.
If you decide to cancel, we’ll miss you, but we make the process easy. You can cancel with 2 clicks of a mouse.
AlgoCademy helps you translate ideas into code, guiding you step-by-step, thus making the whole learning experience more interactive than just following video lessons.
