Mentors and Trainers at Techcake, Kannur
Techcake classes are taught by a small trainer roster and backed by industry mentors who work as engineers today. Every project you build during project-based training is reviewed by a mentor, not marked by a script. Batches are kept small so a trainer knows every student by name. This page lists who teaches, who mentors, and who designs the curriculum.
The mentoring model.
Techcake follows one model across every programme: working engineers teach, mentors review your projects, and batches stay small. The aim is that you finish with work you can explain in an interview, not a folder of unread certificates.
Working engineers
The people who teach and mentor at Techcake run or have run production systems. When a trainer explains a Kubernetes rollout or a Django deployment, it is from something they did at work, not a slide they were handed.
Reviewed projects
In the six-month phase of the DevOps Engineer Career Program and in every project-based training track, you submit real deliverables: a Linux server build, a CI/CD pipeline, a Terraform module, a Django REST API. A mentor reviews each one, sends it back with notes, and signs off only when it would pass at a workplace.
Small batches
Trainers keep batches small enough that doubts get answered in the same session. This also means the trainer sees your work regularly and can tell when you are stuck before you do.
The people who teach the classes.
Our trainers lead the day-to-day classes. The curriculum is designed by our curriculum architect (see below) and delivered by this roster.

Engineers who review your work.
Industry mentors are engineers in full-time jobs outside Techcake. They review student projects, run mock interviews, and are the first link in the referral network that career support draws on.

Who designs the syllabus.
Jobin Joseph.
Jobin Joseph designs every Techcake syllabus and decides which projects go into each phase. He has 17+ years of experience running production cloud systems for Indian and international clients and founded his cloud consulting company. He holds the AWS DevOps Engineer Professional, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, AWS Security Specialty and RHCE certifications. Classes are taught by the trainer roster above; Jobin's role is the curriculum, the project standards and the review rubric.
A note on employer names.
We list a mentor's employer only after the mentor and their employer have given written consent. Until then we describe the role and location and leave the company name out. This is the same standard we apply to alumni placements.
