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.

What’s my experience with this?
I’ve spent 13 years in tech—10 of those at GitHub—and I’ve seen the industry shift through multiple eras, including the current AI wave. My own path was anything but a straight line. I started in Support, moved into Sales Engineering leadership, and eventually transitioned into Software Engineering. I’ve lived the "non-traditional path" and know exactly how to make it a competitive advantage.

Why am I qualified to lead this?
Because I understand the "hidden" side of tech companies. My time in Sales taught me company politics and how to "sell" yourself for a promotion. My time in Support taught me deep user empathy.

On top of that, I was a teacher for 7 years before tech. I’m not just someone who did the work; I’m someone who knows how to teach you to do it. I also finished a CS Master’s and a bootcamp while working full-time, so I understand the grind of leveling up while balancing a career.
