Mentorshipa few seats at a time
Help with getting to senior, leading a team, or giving your first talk.
I was coaching people before I wrote any code, and I still enjoy it. We meet one-to-one every two to four weeks and pick one thing to work on, like your promotion case, your first team or your first conference talk.
What we can work on
Career
Senior and lead, earlier
Building the case, taking responsibility before the title, handling the first hard conversations.
Craft
Owning a system in production
From “I ship tickets” to “I’m responsible for this being up”. Architecture, incidents, trade-offs.
Speaking
Your first CFP and talk
I’ve read 436 abstracts for one conference. I know what gets picked and what gets skipped.
From people I've mentored and taught
“Great mentor and now friend 🤗”
“Faris is a great mentor!”

Tell me where you’re headed.
Goal, budget, cadence. I read every one, reply within two working days, and say so honestly when I’m full.
