Introductory Call with

An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.

You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.

Hi there! 👋 I’ve been unofficially mentoring new developers for many years now. I’ve learned many things the hard way or the slow way in the last 5 years working as a software developer. Any week that I can meaningfully help someone else by sharing my hard-earned insights is a good week. If you are looking to talk to someone about the following, get it touch!:
* Help with any aspect of digital product building using mobile iOS technologies (Objective-C, Swift etc) as well backend API design and data modeling
* Computer Science Fundamentals - any concept that you want to understand better, I love breaking down explaining concepts in an easy to understand way
* Tips for how succeed at your new dev job - from reading other people’s code to participating in code reviews. To finding your niche and becoming a helpful team member.
* Career transitions within software industry (I’ve gone from being an embedded firmware engineer to web developer to indie maker - and happy to talk about all the different things you can do in technology)
* Learning and Productivity - habits for making sure you’re growing as a developer, setting aside daily coding and creating time, how to decide what new tech or tool or learn (or ignore)
