Software developer mentoring: grow as a developer with a 1-on-1 mentor

For junior, mid-level and senior developers who want to grow faster than day-to-day work allows: code review, architecture, interviews and career choices, with someone who has seen many projects go to production.

Who it is for

  • Junior developers who want to know what to study and how to become autonomous
  • Mid-level developers aiming for senior or tech lead roles
  • Developers moving towards cloud, DevOps or data (see DevOps & Cloud mentoring and data mentoring)
  • People preparing interviews at product companies or international teams
  • Freelancers who want a second opinion on architecture and technical choices

What we work on

1

Code review on real code

Your side projects, open source or reconstructed examples: readability, structure, tests, recurring mistakes.

2

Architecture and system design

APIs, monolith or microservices, databases, caching, queues and messaging: trade-offs explained on concrete cases.

3

Senior-level practices

Testing, CI/CD, observability, documentation, estimates and communication with the team and the business.

4

Cloud for developers

Taking an application to AWS, Azure or GCP: containers, serverless, Kubernetes basics, costs.

5

Career

The path to senior, tech lead or individual contributor, changing company, presenting your work.

6

Portfolio and GitHub

A few projects done well, which prove what you can do better than any list of technologies.

How it works

1-on-1 online sessions of 60 minutes (Google Meet or Zoom), recording optional. In the first session we set a clear goal; between sessions I leave you practical tasks, and after each session you get a written summary.

Frequently asked questions

My strengths are backend, cloud and architecture. For specific frameworks, for example the details of a frontend library, I help more with career, architecture and deployment than with the framework itself: in the free call I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person.

Only if you are allowed to share it. Otherwise we work on personal projects, open source or reconstructed examples that reproduce the same problem.

It helps, but it is not required. We define it together in the free call and the first session, so you know what you will get out of it.

Yes, with written feedback. You will find the details on the technical mock interviews page.

Let's talk: the first call is free

30 minutes on a video call, no sales script. Tell me about your situation and I will tell you openly whether and how I can help.
