About this session

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.

Your mentor

I'm a Staff Tech Lead Manager at Uber, with experience 20+ years of expertise leading mobile and platform initiatives, setting technical direction, and developing engineers into independent leaders. My work spans complex technical decisions, cross-team collaboration, and projects with multimillion-dollar business impact.

I help mid-level and senior engineers strengthen their judgment, take on greater ownership, and grow into technical leadership. In this introductory call, we'll discuss your goals, explore what's holding you back, and identify where mentoring could help you move forward.

You don't need a polished career plan—bring your questions, a challenge, or an ambition. Sessions are available at the times shown in my booking calendar.
