One-off sessions with Luca
One-off sessions are a great option if you’re looking for specific advice on a certain topic.
If you're looking for a mentor, and you're just not sure about how this all works – this one is for you. In a casual, informal introductory call, a mentor will introduce themselves, show you around the platform, explain how our mentorships work, and explain …
Whatever doesn't fit the mold: Get a full hour with a mentor to discuss your needs. Be it help with coding something, creating a software architecture, deciding on a strategy for your business or working in pairs. If you don't know whether what you want …
As a Senior Software Engineer at GitHub, I am passionate about developer and infrastructure tools, distributed systems, systems- and network-programming. My expertise primarily revolves around Go, Kubernetes, serverless architectures and the Cloud Native domain in general. I am currently learning more about Rust and AI.
Beyond my primary expertise, I've branched out into areas like .NET, React, TypeScript, APIs, data engineering and Google Cloud to name a few. My past also saw me wearing the hats of a consultant, delivering hands-on training sessions, hosting podcasts, and organizing engaging meetups for the tech community. I'm an active contributor to open source and believe in the importance of knowledge sharing, as evidenced by my blog posts and talks. Additionally, I hold the title of Google Developer Expert (GDE) and CNCF Ambassador.
I will help you become a better software engineer with a tailored learning path and live lessons, sharing career advice and helping you prepare for a new job and interview. Send me an inquiry and we will see if there is a match for both of us! Once you apply and start the 7 day trial, we'll discuss your goals and needs further. If you're onboard, we are going to start work hard towards your goals. Not happy? Cancel the trial. If you are not looking for a full blown mentorship program, I have a one-off "Ask Me Anything" session you can book too.
Be prepared for homework! As an example: I will give you recommendations for books and articles to read and I will give you a project to work on, reviewing the code you write and enforcing best practices, code quality, good software design.
For a deeper dive into my contributions, head over to my blog at https://lucavall.in. Away from the screen, my time is spent cycling, cooking on a kamado, on (astro)photography, or attending to my feline companions 🐈.
Looking forward to meeting you!

I have been mentored for about 10 months now and it has been a great journey so far. Luca is very good at identifying and addressing the gaps in my knowledge and setting up a plan to improve as a whole. Next to that we go in depth career wise and talk about challenges/improvements at my current job. Our meetings are relaxed, clear and make me enthusiastic for the next steps into the projects we develop throughout the mentorship. These projects also allow me to learn new topics and add onto existing knowledge while getting clear and accurate feedback on PRs. Still very satisfied and excited for the future of the mentorship :)

Over the past couple of months, I've developed my hard skills as a software engineer with Luca's guidance. We have engaging discussions on various topics within the software engineering domain. He directs me to interesting literature and exercises related to our discussion topics, aligning with my personal goals. During the exercises, I receive in-depth feedback on every PR, making sure I progress in my software engineering journey. Overall, I really enjoy the mentorship sessions and appreciate Luca's knowledge and guidance.

I've been really happy using my time with Luca so far. He is a very understanding mentor and very willing to work on whatever goal I have been focusing on. I wanted some help with my overall engineering skills and wanted to try learning more about distributed system. He is very helpful for pointing out design decisions and making suggestions. He also recommends very helpful readings!
