5 labs · 3 months · Mumbai

Become a mobile architect.
Not just a mobile developer.

MAL is an application-only engineering lab for senior mobile engineers. Over five sessions you build one real, production-grade product — and walk out T-shaped: deep in one stack, fluent across the rest, grounded in the fundamentals that actually get you hired.

How it works

You don't attend MAL.
You build through it.

Speakers teach the decision, not the feature. Each architect builds their own app and levels it up every lab — learning the gaps, defending the trade-offs, shipping real code.

Everyone builds the same brief:
a hyperlocal marketplace with offline-first AI.
Offline-first sync On-device AI Deep links Observability Scale
🧱

Deep, then broad

Go deep in your primary stack, fluent across the others — exactly the T-shape the market hires for.

🏛️

Decisions, not just code

Every lab you write an Architecture Decision Record. Reasoning is the artifact that separates an architect from a coder.

👥

Pods + mentors

You build individually but review in pods of 4–5 with a mentor architect — never stuck, never coasting.
