Hands-on support
I am a seasoned engineer who has held several senior manager/director positions in startups (from series B to pre-IPO). I built my first startup in 2022 and raised pre-seed round. Over the past 15 years, I've mentored over 50 engineers, both within my workplaces and externally through various mentorship platforms.
My ideal mentees are those who are ambitious, driven, and passionate about their work. I aim to guide them through the challenges of leadership and help them improve their skills. For example, I have helped one of my mentees transition from a senior engineer to a team lead within 6 months. I achieve this by providing personalized guidance, support, and resources.

Awesome. I got a ton of value on the leadership and communication side. I came to Jia to help vet engineers but I am sticking with him even after finding a technical cofounder because I am learning how to better communicate with my partner, what kinds of expectations are reasonable for a startup looking for success, and even advice on how to work between product and sales to develop and operate the sales funnel for launch. Jia is a ton of value for where I am in my startup journey. Very happy and will continue.

He tries to understand the context and asks excellent questions and provides always actionable feedback. Highly recommended if you want to take your career as a software engineer or engineering manager to the next level!
