one-on-ones

You're flying the plane. I'll sit right seat.

A few mentorship slots per quarter, for people trying to make a specific, near-term, career-shaping decision in AI — and who want a pair of eyes that's actually flown the route.

/ who this is for

You're mid-approach and want a second set of eyes.

  • Senior engineers or PMs trying to break into AI at the frontier-lab level.
  • Mid-career folks considering a pivot and want an honest read on whether the water's warm.
  • ML researchers at smaller labs looking to navigate the jump to Meta / OpenAI / Anthropic.
/ who this isn't for

Or: when to go around.

  • Early career — I don't have the bandwidth and there are better resources.
  • "Pick your brain" calls with no specific question or decision on the table.
  • Anyone looking for a codebase review or interview prep bootcamp.
/ how it works

Four waypoints.

01

Intake form

Five questions. Takes about 10 minutes. Tells me what you're actually trying to decide.

02

Quick written reply

Within a week, I'll send a short note with an honest answer on whether a session makes sense — and if not, where to look instead.

03

The session

One 60-minute call. Video on. I come prepared — with notes, with context, with actual directions.

04

Follow-up note

Written recap within 48 hours. What we discussed, what I'd do next, intros if I can make them.

/ questions people ask first

Pre-flight checks.

Why $450?

It filters. The people who pay show up prepared, and I can commit the prep time in return. All of it goes to Girls Who Code — receipt attached to your follow-up note.

Can we do multiple sessions?

Rarely. If a follow-up is obviously useful we'll do it, but I'd rather give three people one real session than give one person three maintenance calls.

Do you do intros?

When I genuinely can and it'd be useful to the other side. I don't spend my network chip unless it moves the ball for both of you.

What if you say no?

I'll tell you why, and I'll point you at something better suited — usually a writer, a community, or someone in my network who actually fits your situation.
