Career changers, self-taught developers, and juniors moving into software engineering who want real project experience and a clear path. No degree required — but you have to put in the work.

How much time does it take?

Project-based, so it flexes around your schedule. Most mentees commit a few focused hours a week. We set a pace at the start and adjust as you go.

What does the format look like?

One-on-one, built around real work. We set a roadmap together, you build on actual projects, and I give direct feedback through code review and regular check-ins.

Will I work on real projects?

Yes. You ship production code on real projects, not toy exercises. That work becomes the portfolio you show employers and clients.

How does pricing and structure work?

Mentorship runs on a different model than my project work, so it's not billed by the hour. Pick one of the fixed packages on this page: a one-off career and portfolio review or a monthly slot. If neither fits your background and goals, apply below and we'll shape something that does.

What's the partnership opportunity?

If you progress well and it's a good fit, you can join real client work as a partner — earning a share of shipped work while building direct client experience and a track record.

For career changers and juniors

IT Mentorship & Career Development

Learn by shipping real software, not exercises.

I mentor people breaking into software engineering. You ship real projects with me, work AI-native from day one, and turn that work into a portfolio and a path into the field.

Why this mentorship works

No course videos or busywork. You learn the way the work actually happens.

Real production experience

You work on actual projects and ship code that runs, not throwaway exercises.

Learn from someone shipping daily

I build production software every day, so you pick up current practices firsthand.

AI-native from the start

You learn to build with AI tools from day one instead of bolting them on later.

Access to my network

I connect you with working developers and the communities worth your time.

A path to paid work

When it fits, you join real client projects as a partner and earn while you learn.

Built around you

The roadmap and pace are set to your goals and where you are right now.

AI Form Assistant

A form you fill by talking instead of typing. Answer in your own words, by voice or text, and the fields fill in as you go: an open-source starting point for anyone whose signup or intake form loses people halfway.
