A senior engineer who has already been where you're stuck.
Most engineering careers stall in the same place: the work that got you here stops being the work that gets you further, and nobody tells you what replaced it. Mentorship is a standing hour with someone who crossed that gap recently enough to remember how.
This is for you if
- You're two to six years in and the next level stopped being about writing more code
- You're the most senior person on your team, with nobody to check a design against
- You keep getting “not quite ready” without a list of what ready means
- You're changing stack, changing domain, or leading people for the first time
It isn't, if
- You want someone to do the work. Reviews here make you faster; they don't ship your tickets.
- You want a syllabus. A course is cheaper and we'll tell you which one to buy.
- You can't protect two hours a month. The value is in the rhythm, not in any one hour.
What actually happens.
- 01
A free intro call
Twenty minutes, no pitch. We work out whether the person you'd be talking to has actually solved the thing you're stuck on. If not, we say so.
- 02
A written baseline
We look at your real code, your last review, and whatever your company's levelling ladder says, then write down the gap in plain language. Everything after this is measured against that page.
- 03
Fortnightly sessions
You bring the work — a design you're unsure about, a review that went badly, a promotion packet. We spend the hour on it and you get notes the same day, so the session survives the week.
- 04
A checkpoint each quarter
Against the baseline, not against a feeling. Either the gap is closing or the plan was wrong, and both are worth knowing on a schedule.
What you get
- Two 1:1 sessions a month, each with written follow-up notes
- Review of your real code and architecture decisions, not textbook exercises
- A skills gap map ranked by what actually blocks your next level
- Async access between sessions for the calls that cannot wait a fortnight
Ground covered
- System design
- Code review
- TypeScript
- Go
- Architecture

The ones people actually ask.
Who am I actually talking to?
A senior engineer who ships client work here, not a full-time coach. That is the entire point: the advice comes from someone who hit the same problem last month, not from someone who read about it.
What if it isn't working?
Cancel any month, no notice period. We would rather lose the fee than keep taking it from someone who stopped getting value — and if we can see it isn't working before you do, we will say so first.
Can my employer pay for this?
Usually. Most learning and development budgets cover mentorship, and it is an easier ask than a conference ticket. Say the word and we'll send an invoice made out to the company.

What is the most expensive thing your team still does by hand?
