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 9+ years at Amazon across three distinct roles (Software Developer, Senior TPM, and now Software Development Manager) so I can speak to engineering careers from multiple angles, not just one. I've also been on the hiring side, conducting interviews and building teams, so I know what stands out and what doesn't. In our intro call, I'll focus on understanding where you are, where you're trying to go, and whether I'm the right person to help you get there.
