About this session
Career growth rarely happens by accident. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you build a clearer roadmap for where you want to go next and how to get there. Whether you are aiming for a promotion, preparing for a bigger role, or feeling stuck in your current position, this session helps you turn broad ambition into a practical career strategy.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to define your next step, identify the skills and signals that matter, and create a plan for making progress inside your current company or beyond it. Together, you can assess your strengths, spot gaps, map out promotion criteria, and think through how to build visibility, ownership, and momentum over time. The goal is to leave with more clarity, better direction, and a concrete plan to move your career forward with intention.
Your mentor
As someone who has helped numerous people land their first job as a developer or level up from junior to mid to senior, I can help guide you to your goals. I started my career on the frontend, transitioned to full stack, then solely a backend engineer. Along the way, I've done everything from building scalable frontends, architecting event driven microservices, and building/maintaining infrastructure with Kubernetes and Helm.
I will give you actionable plans with an ample dose of compassion, humor, and ambition.
