Mentoring
Mentoring for the first half of your career.
I help juniors land their first job and developers break through to Senior. Technical and human: I ship production code for a living, and I know the parts nobody talks about. First session is free.
Who it's for
Land your first dev job
Stop wondering why your CV isn't getting hits or what to learn next. I'll help you build the commercial-grade profile and skills that actually get you hired.
Break through to Senior
Move from implementing features to owning systems. Whether you're wrestling with architecture that won't scale or just not seeing the path to Senior — I'll help you map it out.
What we can work on
Come with a goal. Or just come stuck.
High-performance work habits
The habits, focus, and systems that turn effort into shipped output. Not more hours — better decisions about where the hours go.
Master the 'Why' behind the code
We work on actual code. I review yours. You learn the why behind every decision — the part that stays with you after the tutorial ends.
Finish & ship your project
The last 20% is where projects die. Cut scope, remove blockers, put it live — instead of rewriting it until it feels "ready."
Code & scalability audits
Built fast — maybe with AI — and not sure it holds? I review for correctness, security, and what breaks when real users show up.
Break the 'No Experience' wall
Stop hitting the 'needs 2 years of experience' requirement. I bring you onto real commercial codebases, supervised, for free — so you finish with the professional history employers actually hire for.
LinkedIn & landing the first job
Positioning, LinkedIn, and an application strategy that gets replies. I'll help you build a profile that stands out and a plan that turns cold applications into real conversations.
Bring something specific
Stuck on one concrete thing — a bug, a decision, a deadline? Come with it. We'll solve it together.
Why me
Technical depth meets the human side.
The technical side
I ship production software for a living — open-source work others build on, AI products, full backends in days, audits & scaling. I won't teach you anything I haven't done.
The human side
Impostor syndrome, motivation, focus, the fear of shipping — the parts nobody talks about. I work on the person, not just the code. That's the part most mentors skip.
How it works
-
Intro call
15–20 minutes. Tell me where you're stuck. No pitch — we just see if I can help.
-
One goal
Get hired, ship the project, break a plateau. One outcome, defined clearly.
-
We do the work
Sessions, pairing, or async review — whatever fits. Real code, honest feedback.
-
You leave with something concrete
The job. The shipped project. The experience on your CV. A thing you can point to.
First session free
First session is on me. I'd rather show you I can help than tell you — so we start there.
