AI coding mentoring: understand what happens under the hood
You code with AI and things work… until they don't. As a Senior Software Engineer with 18 years in the craft, I'll help you understand your code, your infrastructure and its risks, so you can work with AI safely and efficiently. Remote, €85/hour + VAT.
Who it's for
A software engineering mentor for people already coding with AI
This AI coding mentoring is for you if you're starting out as a developer, or if you already work as one without a degree or formal training and AI has taken you a long way, but you're not entirely sure what's going on under the hood.
AI writes code very fast, but it doesn't decide for you what's safe, what costs too much or what will break in production. That judgement is exactly what I've built over 18 years of programming, first by hand and today with AI agents. My goal is for you to make it your own: to understand what you're signing off every time you accept a change.
If you'd rather have me build your application, take a look at my services as a Senior Software Engineer.
What we work on together
Hands-on sessions focused on your tools, your code and your real questions.
AI coding security
We review your AI workflows to spot risks: which data and permissions the agent gets, which commands it can run, and how to avoid leaked secrets or dangerous changes.
Your harness, properly set up
We set up your harness optimally to reduce token usage as much as possible, without losing answer quality.
E2e tests with AI agents
I help you write end-to-end tests or, at the very least, the instructions so your harness writes them for you with good judgement.
Your infrastructure and its risks
Together we work out how your application is put together: servers, deployments, databases and external services, and where its weak spots are.
Debugging safely with AI
You learn to investigate bugs with AI without giving it access to what it shouldn't touch, and without accepting patches that hide the problem instead of fixing it.
How it works
From the first conversation to working on your project
-
You tell me where you are
Write to me about what you do, the tools you use and what worries you. From there I'll suggest where to start.
-
We choose your block of hours
I recommend at least 5 hours: that's the time I need to get up to speed and add real value. The more hours, the better the hourly rate.
-
A non-disclosure agreement, if needed
If you want me to look at your code, I'll sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before we start.
-
Remote sessions on your own case
We work on your real tools, harness and infrastructure, so what you learn is useful from day one.
Mentoring rates
Prices exclude VAT. The more hours you book, the more competitive the hourly rate.

Mentoring FAQ
No. The mentoring is designed precisely for people who are starting out, or who already work as developers without formal training and want to understand what AI is doing for them.
I recommend starting with at least 5 hours: that's what I need to get up to speed and add value. If you'd like longer-term support, I'll put together a block of hours with a better hourly rate.
