About this Session

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.

Your mentor

I’ve spent the past several years building and deploying frontier AI systems, most recently at OpenAI, working closely with both research and applied teams to bring state-of-the-art models into real production environments.

My work has focused on:

* AI systems and evaluation — designing rigorous ways to test, benchmark, and improve AI behavior
* Agent workflows and reasoning systems — building AI that can plan, act, and collaborate with humans
* 0→1 startup strategy — helping early-stage teams clarify product direction and technical architecture
* Founder positioning and product clarity — sharpening the core idea, narrative, and roadmap
* Human–AI collaboration design — thinking deeply about how humans and AI systems work together effectively

In these sessions, I aim to provide clear, first-principles feedback rather than generic advice. We’ll break down your problem, identify the highest-leverage decisions, and map concrete next steps. I work best with founders, engineers, and researchers building ambitious AI-native products who want thoughtful technical and strategic guidance.
