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.

I’ve spent 15+ years navigating the US tech ecosystem, from agile startups to leading large-scale engineering teams in Big Tech. Having conducted 150+ interviews and sat on hiring committees, I’ve seen exactly where talented engineers and managers get stuck.

I’m qualified to help you if:
You're a Software Engineer aiming for a Senior/Staff promotion or a Big Tech offer.
You're a Manager (or aspiring lead) navigating team politics or scaling your impact in a US-based firm.

My goal for this call is to understand your 'why' and see if my 'no-filter' but supportive coaching style is the right fit for your career goals
