Services & Offerings

What types of engineering services do you offer?

I offer three main services: Engineering Mentoring (1-on-1 career coaching), Code Reviews (detailed analysis of your code), and System Design (architecture consultation). Each service is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

How do you customize your approach for different experience levels?

I adapt my approach based on your current level and goals. For junior engineers, I focus on fundamentals and career guidance. For senior engineers, I emphasize leadership skills and system design. For engineering managers, I concentrate on team building and technical strategy.

Do you work with teams or only individuals?

I work with both individuals and teams. For individuals, I offer mentoring and career guidance. For teams, I can provide code reviews, architecture consultation, and technical training sessions. I also offer workshops for engineering teams.

Mentoring sessions are 1 hour, Code Reviews take 2-3 business days, System Design projects range from 1-2 weeks depending on complexity, and Technical Writing typically takes 1-2 weeks per document.

What tools do you use for sessions?

For mentoring, I use Zoom or Google Meet. For code reviews, I work with GitHub, GitLab, or any version control system. For system design, I use collaborative tools like Miro or Figma. All tools are included in the service cost.

How do you handle different time zones?

I'm based in Berlin (CET/CEST) but work with clients globally. I'm flexible with scheduling and can accommodate sessions outside standard business hours for international clients. My usual availability is 9 AM - 9 PM CET.

International & Remote

Do you work with international clients?

Absolutely! I work with clients from around the world. All sessions are conducted remotely, and I'm experienced in working across different time zones and cultural contexts. Communication is primarily in English.

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept bank transfers, PayPal, and major credit cards. For international clients, I can accommodate various payment methods. Invoices are provided in Euros, and I can assist with currency conversion questions.

Do you provide certificates or formal credentials?

While I don't provide formal certifications, I do provide detailed session summaries, action plans, and recommendations that you can use for performance reviews or career discussions with your manager.

Getting Started

How do I know which service is right for me?

I offer a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your goals and recommend the best approach. During this call, we'll assess your current situation and create a personalized plan. This helps ensure you get the most value from our work together.

What should I prepare before our first session?

For mentoring: prepare your career goals and current challenges. For code reviews: have your code ready in a shareable repository. For system design: outline your requirements and constraints. I'll send a preparation guide after booking.

What if I'm not satisfied with the service?

Your satisfaction is my priority. If you're not completely satisfied with any service, I offer a full refund within 7 days. I also provide follow-up support to ensure all your questions are answered and goals are met.
