About this session

As a Lead Software Engineer I can help you with a Career Strategy, helping you find your first job, get a promotion, interview prep, pair programming and any other questions you might have

Your mentor

Are you a software engineer who wants to grow faster, build stronger projects, improve your technical skills, and become more confident in your career?

Whether you are trying to land your first developer job, move from junior to mid-level, prepare for interviews, improve your React/Node/TypeScript skills, or become more productive with modern AI tools, I can help you create a clear plan and make consistent progress.

I am a Lead Software Engineer with 9+ years of experience in web development, working across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, architecture, testing, and team leadership. I have mentored many developers through MentorCruise, helping them build real-world projects, improve their CVs, prepare for technical interviews, and grow into stronger, more confident engineers.

My mentoring style is practical, structured, and personalised. I will help you identify your current level, understand your gaps, and create a learning plan that matches your goals. Instead of just giving you random tutorials or generic advice, we will focus on the skills that actually matter in real software engineering roles.

I can help you with:

Building real-world projects that are strong enough to show employers
Improving your frontend skills with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, testing, and modern UI patterns
Improving your backend skills with Node.js, APIs, databases, authentication, Docker, cloud deployment, and system design fundamentals
Preparing for technical interviews, take-home tasks, pair programming rounds, behavioural interviews, and system design discussions
Reviewing your CV, LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolio, and job search strategy
Understanding how to write cleaner, more maintainable, production-ready code
Growing from junior to mid-level, or from mid-level to more senior engineering responsibilities

I can also help you use AI properly as a software engineer.

AI tools like Claude Code, GPT Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other coding assistants can massively improve your workflow, but only if you know how to use them well. I can teach you how to use AI to understand new concepts, debug problems, refactor code, generate tests, review architecture, speed up repetitive tasks, and become more productive without becoming dependent on the tools.

The goal is not to let AI replace your learning. The goal is to help you learn faster, think better, and work more effectively as an engineer.

If you work with me, you can expect honest feedback, clear direction, practical assignments, code reviews, career guidance, and support from someone who has helped many developers move forward in their careers.

Don’t just take my word for it — check my MentorCruise and LinkedIn reviews to see what other mentees have achieved.

If you are serious about improving as a software engineer and want a mentor who can help you build a clear path forward, feel free to reach out. Let’s work together to take your skills and career to the next level.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a session?

A session is a focused one-on-one call with your mentor. Use it to get feedback, work through a specific problem, review your work, or get unstuck. You reserve up to 1 hour of their time.

How do I pick a time?

After checkout you pick a slot from Telmo's live availability, and it's confirmed on the spot.

How does the session take place?

Sessions happen over video call. Your mentor shares the meeting link ahead of time, so all you need is a quiet spot and a stable connection.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, up to 24 hours before the session. Message your mentor and find a new time that works for both of you.

What if my mentor doesn't show up?

You're protected. If a mentor is a no-show, it takes one click to cancel and get your money back, no questions asked.

How do refunds work?

You pay securely by card at checkout. If the session can't go ahead, you can cancel and get your money back instantly from your dashboard.
