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

Being 'compatible' as people is absolutely crucial for us both to get the most out of this experience.<br>So, let's spend some time to get to know one another. There is no agenda for this, but I encourage you to ask me all the things that are on your mind.

As a student searching for my first job in this field, my main goal has been to build a professional portfolio and get hired. Thomas has helped guide me through different phases of my journey. He has supported me in building my personal portfolio project, improving the project structure, writing cleaner code, and solving the bugs I have faced. He has also helped me create a professional portfolio and supported me through the many challenges I have encountered while applying for jobs. In addition, he has helped me with job applications and answered other questions related to starting a new role. He has played an important part in helping me build my professional identity and has guided me in the right direction while looking for work. Thomas has always been very friendly, and we have had great conversations about coding, the tech industry in general, and many other topics. As someone new to the field, I have found his support and guidance extremely valuable. He has helped me navigate many new situations and has given me the encouragement and direction I needed.”

He offered insights at every level, from infrastructure and system design to semantic solutions and code quality best practices. We covered the consolidation of projects into a monorepo, updating codebases, improving and streamlining connections between the frontend and backend and solving errors across a number of frameworks. I gained a deeper understanding of TypeScript, Astro, and Svelte, as well as general JavaScript debugging techniques and inspect tools. I also learned how to properly manage work pressure, handle time management, and navigate contract negotiations. Thomas guided me through general code maintenance and best practices with Git, and we even took the time to nerd out about TypeScript efficiency and so much more. Beyond the technical, Thomas proved to be a great companion when taking on new projects. He is someone you can confide in, is incredibly wise, a pleasure to chat with, and always manages to brighten your day. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

It took some time for me to understand what's the best way to work and what to focus on. I recommend you come ready with goals and be proactive to make the best of the process. ”
