Questions

Frequently asked

What's the difference between consulting and mentorship?
Consulting is project-focused — I work with your team on architecture, performance, and delivery. Mentorship is growth-focused — 1:1 coaching for an individual engineer's career and skills.
How do I know which service is right for me?
If you have a team or product challenge, start with consulting. If you're an engineer who wants to level up, choose mentorship. Not sure? Book a free 20-minute call and we'll figure it out together.
What's your availability?
I take on a few engagements at a time so each one gets real attention. Next availability opens in Q3 2026 — worth reaching out early if you want in.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If the first session isn't valuable, you don't pay for it. Simple as that.
