Introductory Call with

If you're looking for a mentor, and you're just not sure about how this all works – this one is for you. In a casual, informal introductory call, a mentor will introduce themselves, show you around the platform, explain how our mentorships work, and explain how they would set up a mentorship with you.

This session is perfect if you're looking for a long-term mentor, but you're just not sure how this can work – or if you already set eyes on a specific mentor, and want to get to know them beforehand.

With over 6 years in AI/ML engineering and leadership and experience as a former CTO who built global payroll & cross-border payments infrastructure (in partnership with Citibank & HSBC) and production-grade agentic AI recognized by the World Bank and Harvard, I help mentees quickly understand whether mentorship with me is the right fit.

In this brief 15-minute Introductory Call, we’ll:

Introduce who I am and how I run mentorships.

Walk through the mentorship offerings (pair programming, reviews, study plans, long-term coaching) and what to expect on MentorCruise.

Quickly clarify your goals so I can recommend the right session type or a mentorship path.

Answer any questions about logistics, pricing, and the application/sign-up flow.

This is casual and low-commitment—perfect if you’re on the fence or want a quick walkthrough before applying. Typical availability: weekday afternoons and evenings (US time); I can be flexible for different time zones.
