I am a career-changer who has just landed my first role as a Mid Software Developer. My background is in HR, and I completed a Computer Science degree a year ago. I am highly motivated but aware of my knowledge gaps. I am looking for an experienced, patient senior developer to act as a dedicated mentor and teacher for a 6-month, intensive learning plan. This is not about getting quick answers to specific bugs. It's about building a strong, professional foundation from the ground up. I need a guide to help me transition from a beginner to a competent Mid developer who can confidently contribute to my new team. What I'm Looking For: A seasoned developer with 5+ years of professional experience. Expertise in core fundamentals: OOP (Java/Python), Agile methodologies, TDD/BDD, CI/CD, and Git. Someone who is passionate about teaching and explaining concepts clearly, not just providing solutions. Experience in code review and providing constructive, actionable feedback. Your Role & Responsibilities: Structured Learning: Develop and oversee a weekly learning curriculum based on my role's requirements (which I will share with you). Concept Deep Dives: Weekly sessions to explain core concepts, design patterns, and best practices that I will encounter on the job. Code Reviews: Regularly review my personal practice code and provide detailed feedback on style, structure, and efficiency. Foundation Building: Help me prepare for and understand relevant certifications if they are beneficial. Guidance: Be a sounding board for my questions and challenges as I navigate my first months in a professional dev environment. Logistics: This is a 6-month, intensive commitment. We will start with 4-6 scheduled sessions per week, with ad-hoc support via chat as needed. I will require an initial consultation to discuss the plan and ensure we are a good fit. I will be conducting a brief interview to assess suitability and teaching style. If you are a developer who enjoys nurturing new talent and has the patience and expertise to build a developer from the ground up, I would love to hear from you.
