Come up with a study plan with

A mentee will reach out with an idea on what to learn, how deep to go into those topics, and when they want to learn it. It's your job in this session to create a realistic study plan, featuring milestones and deadlines, on how to reach that goal.

This might likely be similar to what you're already providing to your longterm mentees, but you're just providing a document (e.g. Google Sheets works well) with what to learn until when. It's a good idea to link to some specific books and courses you know.

Finally, this is a great gateway to your longterm mentorship offerings. If a mentee is looking to reach a goal in the next 3-6 months, it's worth mentioning that you're also available for your usual weekly fee, for a longer period of time.

Software engineer at Amazon Blockchain with expertise in developing scalable and fault tolerant microservices. I have architected and developed performant software, comprising of maintainable and robust engineering principles. I enjoy building scalable and distributed systems and often contemplate the longevity and economic trade offs of a project. I was previously the lead solidity engineer for a social media Metaverse company where I wrote smart contracts for.

I have designed and developed trading APIs and internal tooling for financial companies primarily on the JVM; technologies involving Spring, Postgres, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker. This has all been implemented for scale and low latency, all which have satisfied hundreds and thousands of customers.

I provide mentorship regarding career progression, which entails what to focus your time on to progress fast in the technical field. This includes certain technologies, design patterns, data structures, algorithms and best practices which make a strong engineer. I provide expertise on design and architecture of systems, advice on which languages, tools, platforms to use. The number one rule is to pick the right tool for the right job, often which many get wrong; a problem which I aim to solve.

Mentorship consists of hosting a 40 minute session per week to discuss questions regarding tasks I set each week, which consist of providing technical resources which I recommend to my mentee's. I also provide contact through Discord, if any questions may arise during the week.
