Principal DevOps Engineer & Architect

20 years in productionPrincipal / architect roles10,000+ engineers trainedM.Tech BITS Pilani25+ certifications

Rajesh teaches TypeScript around the compiler rather than the syntax — tsconfig and the strict flags, module resolution, declaration files, and where a build should type-check versus merely strip types. Sessions go deep on the parts teams get wrong in production: modelling API responses with discriminated unions and exhaustiveness checks, generics and utility types that stay readable, runtime validation at the boundary because types vanish after compilation, and a staged migration path that turns strictness on incrementally without stalling delivery.

Twenty years across DevOps, SRE and Security, in principal and architect roles at PayPay, SoftwareAG, ServiceNow, JDA Software, Intuit, Adobe and others. He has trained engineers at JPMorgan Chase, Verizon, Nokia, the World Bank, VMware, Oracle, Mercedes-Benz and Airbus — more than 10,000 people personally. He teaches what he runs, not what he reads.

One practitioner, not a bench

You are booked with a named engineer, and that is who turns up. Marketplaces and larger providers rotate whoever is free, so the person who sold you the agenda is rarely the person teaching it.

The same trainer is available for the next engagement, which matters when a team builds on what it learned last time.

Who delivers TypeScript engagements

Your batch is assigned a named trainer before it starts, and that is who teaches it. See the full faculty.

How your TypeScript trainer is chosen

Engagements are matched on the tool, not the calendar. For TypeScript that means a trainer who has run it in production — static typing, compiler configuration and typed contracts across a JavaScript codebase — rather than whoever is free that week. You are told who is teaching before you commit, and that person is on the discovery call that shapes the agenda.

Where a batch is large enough to need a second trainer, the pairing is declared up front. The lead trainer stays accountable for the syllabus and the assessment either way.

# private batches

Private TypeScript training for your team

A private batch starts with a discovery call. We look at the stack you actually run — the CI system, the cloud, the constraints — and map the agenda onto it, so examples use your topology rather than a generic one.

Delivery is onsite at your premises, live online, or hybrid, scheduled around your release calendar rather than ours. Batches run 8 to 30 engineers.

Every attendee leaves with recordings, slides, lab repositories and a completion certificate. You receive an attendance and assessment report. Invoicing supports PO and GST.

# the technology

What is TypeScript?

TypeScript is a statically typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript. Every valid JavaScript file is already valid TypeScript; what the language adds is a type system that runs entirely at compile time. The compiler, tsc, checks the program against declared and inferred types, reports the errors, then erases the annotations and emits JavaScript for the target you configured. Nothing about the runtime changes, which is why TypeScript can be adopted a file at a time rather than as a rewrite.

The type system is structural rather than nominal — compatibility is decided by shape, not by declared lineage — and it is expressive enough to describe most real JavaScript patterns. Unions and intersections, literal and template literal types, generics with constraints, keyof and typeof queries, mapped and conditional types, and the utility types built from them let you model an API response, a configuration object or a state machine precisely. Narrowing turns runtime checks into compile-time knowledge, and discriminated unions with exhaustiveness checking make whole classes of missing-case bugs impossible to merge.

The rest of TypeScript is configuration and tooling. tsconfig.json controls target, module resolution, strictness and output, and the strict flags are where most of the value sits. Declaration files describe untyped libraries, DefinitelyTyped supplies them for the ecosystem, and project references and path mapping make a monorepo build incrementally. In a pipeline the compiler is a gate: tsc with noEmit runs alongside typescript-eslint and the test suite, while the actual bundle is produced by esbuild, swc or Vite, which strip types without checking them.

Why this skill matters now

TypeScript has become the default for new JavaScript work. The major frameworks ship types, the large runtimes and cloud SDKs publish them, and most job specifications for frontend, Node and full-stack roles now name TypeScript rather than JavaScript. Teams that adopted it did so for a specific reason: on a codebase of any size, the compiler catches the refactoring mistakes that tests do not, and does it before code review.

The operational argument is stronger still. Most production incidents in JavaScript services trace back to a value being a different shape than the code assumed — a null where an object was expected, a renamed API field, a string where a number was intended. A type system moves those failures from three in the morning to the pull request, and typed API contracts generated from OpenAPI or a schema keep client and server honest as both evolve.

What organisations actually struggle with is not syntax but adoption. Turning strict mode on across an existing codebase, deciding where types are worth writing, keeping build times acceptable, describing third-party libraries that ship no types, and validating data at the boundary where the type system stops — those are the problems that need an experienced hand, and they are what this course is built around.

What your team can do afterwards

Configure tsc properly — target, module resolution, output, source maps and the strict flags that give the type system its value
Model real data with unions, intersections, literal types, tuples, enums and discriminated unions with exhaustiveness checking
Use generics and constraints to write reusable code that keeps its types instead of falling back to any
Apply keyof, typeof, mapped, conditional and template literal types, and the utility types built from them
Type classes, interfaces and functions correctly, and choose between an interface and a type alias on evidence
Consume untyped libraries with declaration files, ambient declarations and DefinitelyTyped packages
Validate untrusted data at the boundary with schemas, because the type system does not exist at runtime
Generate typed clients from OpenAPI or schema definitions so API contracts break at compile time, not in production
Migrate an existing JavaScript codebase incrementally, with a strictness ratchet and a type-check gate in CI
# curriculum

8 modules. Live demos in a real lab, not slides.

01The compiler, the project and how TypeScript actually runsLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

What TypeScript is, what it is not, and what happens between source and shipped JavaScript. Static against dynamic typing, compile time against run time, then a real project setup: tsc, tsconfig.json, target and module settings, editor integration, and the strict flags that decide how much the compiler is allowed to help.

Topics: What TypeScript adds to JavaScript, and what it erases · Static and dynamic typing, compile time and run time · Installing and running the TypeScript compiler · tsconfig.json — target, lib, module, outDir, sourceMap · Module resolution strategies and path mapping · The strict family of flags, one by one · Editor tooling, the language server and the TypeScript playground · Type checking versus type stripping in modern build tools

  • Assignments: (1) Create a project from an empty directory with strict mode on and a passing build; (2) Turn each strict flag on individually and record which errors it exposes
  • Capstone: Produce a tsconfig your team could adopt as its baseline, with each setting justified
02The type system — annotations, inference and narrowingLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

The core of the language. Primitives and the special types, where annotations are needed and where inference is better left alone, unions and intersections, literal types, arrays and tuples, enums and their alternatives, then narrowing — how runtime checks give the compiler information.

Topics: Primitives, arrays, tuples and object types · any, unknown, never and void, and when each is correct · Type inference and when to annotate explicitly · Union and intersection types · Literal types, const assertions and readonly · Enums, union-of-literals and the trade-off between them · Narrowing with typeof, instanceof, in and truthiness · Type predicates and user-defined type guards · Optional properties, null, undefined and strictNullChecks

  • Assignments: (1) Remove every any from a supplied file without changing behaviour; (2) Model a value that can be one of four shapes, and make the compiler force every case to be handled
  • Capstone: Type an untyped module end to end and prove the compiler catches three planted bugs
03Functions, classes and interfacesLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

Typing the structures code is organised into. Parameter and return types, optional and default parameters, overloads, arrow functions and this-typing, then classes with access modifiers, abstract members and implements, and interfaces against type aliases with a clear rule for choosing.

Topics: Function parameter and return types, optional and default parameters · Function overloads and call signatures · Arrow functions, this typing and context · Defining classes, fields, methods and constructors · Access modifiers, readonly, static and abstract members · Implementing interfaces and extending classes · Interfaces versus type aliases, and declaration merging · Structural typing and excess property checking · Index signatures and Record types

  • Assignments: (1) Convert a class-based module to interfaces plus functions and compare the resulting types; (2) Fix a set of errors caused by structural compatibility rather than intent
  • Capstone: Design the public type surface of a shared library module and document its contract
04Generics and advanced typesLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

How reusable code keeps its types. Generic functions, classes and constraints, then the type-level toolkit — keyof and typeof queries, mapped and conditional types, infer, template literal types and the utility types built from them — with a hard limit on cleverness, since types nobody can read are a liability.

Topics: Generic functions, classes and interfaces · Type parameter constraints and defaults · keyof, typeof and indexed access types · Mapped types and modifiers · Conditional types and infer · Template literal types · Utility types — Partial, Required, Pick, Omit, Record, ReturnType, Awaited · Variance, assignability and common inference failures · When a simpler type is the better engineering decision

  • Assignments: (1) Write a typed wrapper that preserves the signature of any function it decorates; (2) Build a mapped type that derives a form state shape from a domain model
  • Capstone: Deliver a small generic utility library with readable types and type-level tests
05Modules, declaration files and third-party codeLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

TypeScript across more than one file and more than one package. ES modules and resolution, ambient declarations and .d.ts authoring, DefinitelyTyped, describing a library that ships no types, then project references, path mapping and the layout that keeps a monorepo building incrementally.

Topics: ES modules, import and export, and module resolution modes · Ambient declarations and global augmentation · Writing and shipping .d.ts declaration files · DefinitelyTyped and the @types packages · Typing a third-party library that has no types · Declaration output, declarationMap and consuming your own packages · Project references and incremental builds · Path aliases and monorepo layout · Common interop problems with CommonJS packages

  • Assignments: (1) Write declarations for an untyped dependency and publish them inside the repository; (2) Split a project into two referenced packages and measure the rebuild time
  • Capstone: Restructure a multi-package repository so each package builds and type-checks independently
06The runtime boundary — validating what types cannotLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

The single most misunderstood property of TypeScript: types are erased, so nothing at the edge of the program is guaranteed. Where the boundaries are, how to validate at each of them, schema-based validation with inferred types, typed API clients generated from contracts, and error modelling that survives compilation.

Topics: Why a type assertion is not a runtime check · Identifying boundaries — HTTP, storage, environment variables, configuration, message queues · Schema validation with inferred static types · JSON Schema and OpenAPI as the source of truth · Generating typed clients from an API contract · Parsing environment and configuration safely at startup · Modelling errors — result types, discriminated unions and exhaustiveness · Keeping generated types in sync in CI

  • Assignments: (1) Replace an unchecked cast on an API response with schema validation and inferred types; (2) Generate a typed client from an OpenAPI document and break the build by changing the contract
  • Capstone: Make every external input to a service validated and typed, with a failing build when the contract drifts
07Build, test and lintLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

How typed code becomes a shipped artefact. tsc against esbuild, swc and Vite, what each does and does not check, declaration emit and source maps, typescript-eslint rules that need type information, and testing typed code — unit tests, mocks that keep their types, and type-level assertions.

Topics: tsc, esbuild, swc and bundler-based builds — checking versus stripping · Emitting declarations, source maps and build artefacts · Build performance — incremental builds, isolatedModules and skipLibCheck · ESLint with typescript-eslint and type-aware rules · Unit testing with Vitest or Jest, and typed mocks · Type-level tests and expect-error assertions · Coverage, and what type safety does not replace · Publishing a typed package to a registry

  • Assignments: (1) Split the pipeline into a fast bundle step and a separate type-check step, and compare durations; (2) Add type-aware lint rules and fix the first wave of findings
  • Capstone: Deliver a typed package that builds, tests, lints and publishes from one pipeline run
08Adopting TypeScript in an existing codebaseLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

The real problem for most teams. Assessing a JavaScript codebase, choosing a migration order, allowJs and checkJs, JSDoc-based typing as a first step, the strictness ratchet, handling the any backlog, and a CI gate that stops new untyped code arriving faster than old code is fixed.

Topics: Auditing an existing codebase and choosing a migration order · allowJs, checkJs and JSDoc type annotations without renaming files · File-by-file conversion and the ts-expect-error escape hatch · The strictness ratchet — turning flags on without stopping delivery · Managing the any backlog and measuring type coverage · Typing legacy patterns — dynamic objects, callbacks, event emitters · CI gates that prevent regression, and codeowner review rules · Team conventions, review standards and onboarding

  • Assignments: (1) Migrate a JavaScript module to TypeScript with strict mode on, keeping tests green; (2) Add a type-check gate and a type-coverage threshold to a pipeline
  • Capstone: Produce a staged migration plan for a real codebase, with gates, owners and a measurable target

# questions

Frequently asked

Can the agenda be customised for our stack?
Yes — that is the normal case for a private batch. We look at your framework, bundler, package layout and CI, then rebuild the module list around them. The migration module is usually run against a real module from your own repository.
Do we need to know JavaScript first?
Yes, at working level. TypeScript changes nothing about runtime behaviour, so gaps in closures, prototypes, promises or modules show up immediately as type confusion. Teams without that base usually run the JavaScript course first.
How do we migrate a large JavaScript codebase?
Incrementally, with allowJs and checkJs, JSDoc typing where renaming is disruptive, and a strictness ratchet so each flag is turned on once the codebase can pass it. A CI gate stops new untyped code arriving faster than old code is fixed — that whole approach is the final module.
Do you cover React, Node or NestJS specifically?
The core course is framework-neutral because the type system is the hard part. A private batch can add a framework module — typed React components and hooks, typed Express or Nest services, or typed CDK and Pulumi infrastructure code.
Do you deliver onsite?
Yes. Private batches run onsite at your premises, live online, or hybrid. You provide the room and the engineers; we bring the trainer, agenda, labs, assessment and certificates.
What lab environment do we need?
Node with npm, an editor running the TypeScript language server, and a browser. Attendees provision anything cloud-side themselves and we walk them through it.
Does TypeScript remove the need for runtime validation?
No, and assuming otherwise is the most common production failure. Types are erased at compile time, so every external input still needs validating. A full module is devoted to boundaries, schema validation and generated contracts.
How long does a private TypeScript batch take?
Three days for the compiler, type system, generics and modules. Adding runtime validation, build and test tooling and the migration workshop takes it to five.
What size are batches?
Private corporate batches run 8 to 30 engineers. Public Live & Interactive cohorts are capped at 10 so everyone gets time with the trainer.
Do attendees get a certificate?
Yes — every attendee receives a completion certificate, verifiable at devopsschool.com/certificates. Corporate batches also receive an attendance and assessment report.
What happens if someone misses a session?
Sessions are recorded and available in the LMS, and attendees keep LMS access for a year. For public cohorts, a missed session can be picked up in a later batch.
What is your refund position?
If we cancel or postpone a cohort, you receive a full refund within 15 days. There is no general money-back guarantee, and GST and gateway fees are not refunded.
