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 been mentoring and teaching developers for over a decade, working with everyone from career changers taking their first steps to senior engineers navigating complex architectural decisions. This call is a no-pressure conversation to see if we’re a good fit - I’ll ask about where you are, what you’re trying to figure out, and what kind of support would actually be useful to you. No pitch, no agenda. Just an honest conversation to work out whether working together makes sense.

I typically run intro calls on weekday mornings and afternoons UK time.
