Thirty minutes to get guidance on anything ๐Ÿ™‚

Your mentor

Hi, I'm Kasia ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm a software engineer with 5 years of experience in the tech industry ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป I'm also a passionate career mentor and EMCC-accredited professional coach. I am energised by people; understanding them, empowering them, and watching them shine! โœจ

Mentoring with me looks like:
๐Ÿค A supportive space where you can ask questions, share challenges, and celebrate your wins
๐Ÿš€ Practical advice on technical skills development, career transitions, and navigating the tech industry
๐Ÿ“ˆ Clear, structured feedback with actionable next steps tailored to your growth areas
๐Ÿ“ Strategic guidance on writing resumes, interviewing, networking, and personal branding
๐ŸŽฏ Accountability and motivation to help you stay on track with your goals
๐Ÿ’ช Empowerment to build confidence and overcome imposter syndrome
๐Ÿ”ฎ Help aligning your career with your values, strengths, and long-term aspirations
๐Ÿ‘ Someone cheering you on as you achieve your goals and thrive in the tech industry!

My journey...
I currently work at Starling Bank, which has been an exciting and fulfilling challenge, because I'm learning Java on the job alongside developing my frontend expertise. React, TypeScript, and JavaScript are the main languages I use day to day. Previously, I worked at an EdTech start-up for three years after graduating from a bootcamp in 2021. It's a huge honour to be living proof that taking a non-linear, non-traditional path into tech can change your life, and I love to share my experiences to inspire others!

As a career-switcher, I'm deeply committed to making the industry a more diverse and inclusive space. In my spare time, I concentrate my efforts on helping more people from underrepresented groups enter the tech world by paying my own experiences forward. For my contribution to this cause, I have been honoured with the following awards:
๐Ÿ† Winner - Diversity & Inclusion Power List 2026 by GirlCode
๐Ÿ† Winner - Tech Women Celebration 50 List 2025 by Computing Magazine
๐Ÿ† Winner - One to Watch in the City 2025 by Brummel Magazine
๐Ÿ† Winner - Rising Star Awards 2025 by WeAreTheCity
๐Ÿ† Winner - Diversity & Inclusion Power List 2025 by GirlCode
๐Ÿ† Winner - TechWomen100 Awards 2024 by WeAreTechWomen
๐Ÿ† Highly Commended - Rising Star of the Year (Financial Services) - Women in Tech Excellence Awards 2025 by Computing Magazine
๐Ÿ…Shortlist - Software Engineer - Salesforce everywoman in Tech Awards 2026
๐Ÿ…Shortlist - Role Model of the Year (Financial Services) - Women in Tech Excellence Awards 2025 by Computing Magazine
๐Ÿ…Shortlist - Role Model of the Year (Technology) - Women in Tech Excellence Awards 2024 by Computing Magazine

Outside of tech, I love expressing my creativity through arts and crafts, regularly do yoga, and find a lot of joy in cooking something delicious!

I 100% recommend her, as she is both highly professional and empathetic. She supported me in many ways: improving my CV, teaching me how to write a proper cover letter, guiding me through networking, and sharing valuable resources and links. Thanks to her, I also made new professional contacts. During an application process, she was there for me from the very first minute: reviewing every step, supervising my progress, and sharing ideas for a technical task I had to complete. I think Kasia truly creates a space of trust, making her an excellent mentor for anyone seeking to take the next step in their career!”

Kasia helped me discover my strengths and guided me through every step of the job search: from navigating the job market and exploring different career paths to creating my CV, writing cover letters, and refining my LinkedIn profile. She supported me through my first interviews, helped me prepare, and when I received my first job offer, she made sure I wasnโ€™t being taken advantage of. Even after I started the job, Kasia continued to guide me, helping me navigate the new role and work more efficiently. I avoided many common mistakes and saved so much time thanks to our regular sessions. Kasia has incredibly broad expertise, and even though Iโ€™m not in a tech role, her insights and personal experience were deeply valuable. She is a true role model for young women like me. Iโ€™m forever grateful for the opportunity to learn from her. She made me feel more confident during a time of big change and inspired me not to be afraid of the future. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Kasia as my first ever mentor at the very start of my career, and I would absolutely recommend anyone to reach out and have a chat with her. Thank you Kasia! ”
