This plan includes 4x 1 hour calls. They can be scheduled any time over a month and they don't expire.

I’m a full-stack software developer with 15+ years of hands-on experience, and the creator of two long-running projects: the open-source mobile messaging framework ChatSDK (github.com/chat-sdk) and the Chinese learning app WeHanzi (wehanzi.com).

Alongside development, I’ve mentored individuals at various stages of their careers—especially those switching fields or building technical confidence from the ground up. For example, I supported an accountant in becoming an iOS developer; he now leads a team of over 270 people. I helped a medical imaging professional secure a top-tier software role in Munich.

I focus on practical, real-world progress. Whether you’re starting out, pivoting careers, or deepening your technical stack, I can help you move forward.

I can help you with:

• Programming foundations: logic, structure, and problem-solving
• Native mobile development: iOS (Objective-C, Swift) and Android (Java, Kotlin)
• Front-end web: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular
• Back-end development: PHP, Node.js, Python (FastAPI), REST APIs
• Architecture: full-stack app design, design patterns, scalability
• Databases: schema design, performance, SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL)
• Real-time communication: Firebase, XMPP, WebRTC
• Tooling: Docker, Git, deployment workflows

Beyond code, I also support mentees with:

• Preparing for technical interviews and coding challenges
• Reviewing and improving your existing projects
• Helping you move from “plateaued” to the next level technically
• Career and business advice—especially for freelancers, indie hackers, and developers branching into product development
• Strategy for launching and sustaining apps or side projects

If you’re looking for a mentor who’s been through the full developer journey—from writing code to building businesses—I’d be glad to help.
