Mentorship
Mentorship is consistent, tailored, and practical guidance.It's having real conversations about your real life and getting real help.People say it feels like "talking to an old friend and a great SWE at once."
How I've helped people in the past:
- Get promoted
- Onboard fast and well
- Excel in tough conversations
- Learn to give and receive help
- Navigate a painful team dynamic
- Make vague feedback actionable
You'll practice skills, receive real-time feedback, collaboratively set goals (and reach them!), and much more.

About
Heya, I'm Callie 👋🏻
I pick up languages and frameworks fast, but I learn people even faster. It's how I went from 0 prod experience to Senior SWE in less than 2 years.I wasn't always this way.My default settings are passive aggression, taking everything personally, and finding human dynamics harder than debugging an intermittent glitch in prod.And yet.I'm living proof that anyone can learn people skills. You can learn them.Instead of it taking 13 years (like it did for me), you'll be astonished how much you can grow in a few short months. All it takes is tailored feedback, practice, and patience.

Land a Full-time SWE Role
Everyone knows the 2024 tech market is rough.Mass layoffs. Job postings with 100s of applications in seconds. Crowded networking events. Feels hopeless.But that doesn't mean it is.After helping dozens of Junior to Mid-Level SWEs land roles, I've identified clear pitfalls everyone seems to fall into.And even better — I've tested simple ways to stand out and get hired. They're repeatable and they work.You can land a SWE role. And you deserve one. Even without a decade of experience at Google. (Thank goodness)
