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
I have 7+ years experience reviewing code and pair programming with peers and have a strong track record of growing engineers into their next level as an engineering team leader across multiple organizations.
I was once where you were and taught myself programming from Day 1 (and still do today, there's so much to learn!). I have since assembled a concise list of key resources, learnings and tips that I share to grow my mentees and peers.
Your learning is my reward - my unique coaching style will guarantee you see and solve complex problems in a new way.
Looking forward to meet you!
