Mentorship
I made it the hard way.
You don't have to.
Early in my career I had no mentor, no guide, no one to call. I figured everything out on my own through sheer persistence. I worked at Microsoft and Meta. I built products from scratch. I got there.
But it was an uphill battle that didn't need to be that hard. Later in my career I connected with mentors and saw immediately how much faster things moved when someone with experience just pointed you in the right direction. It didn't make me who I am. It just removed friction I didn't need to fight.
If you are early in your career and feeling lost, I want to be that person for you. Free, no strings attached. Just an honest conversation from someone who has been exactly where you are.
What we can talk about
Finding your direction
Not sure what to specialize in? Frontend, backend, AI, product? We'll talk through your strengths and what actually excites you. Not what LinkedIn says is hot right now.
Breaking into the industry
Landing your first job or making a career switch is hard. I'll help you think through your resume, portfolio, and how to stand out. Even without a big-name school or company behind you.
Growing in your career
Already working but feeling stuck? We'll talk about how to level up, how to navigate a team, and how to build a reputation that opens doors.
Using AI in your work
AI is changing how engineers work. I'll show you how to actually use it day-to-day. Not the hype, the real workflow changes that make you faster.
Building your own thing
Want to build a side project, launch a product, or start something? I've done it and I know where the landmines are. Happy to talk through your idea.
