Hi SDRuby,


Like the subject of the post says I am looking for someone to mentor. I’m 
interested in how junior developers can grow and learn to be an 
intermediate developers (or whatever you want to call in between junior and 
senior dev). I consider myself to be an intermediate dev. I know that when 
I was a junior and had learned the fundamentals I found it a bit hard to 
know what to do to get to the next level. So I want to help others with 
this phase.


*What I’m looking for in a mentee*:

   - Solid foundation in programming, perhaps completed a bootcamp or 
   worked for 6 months to a year in ruby or web. Optimally, you can already 
   explain data types, loops, conditionals, and have a basic grasp of OOP. 
   - Interested in becoming a better developer and cares about trying to 
   write better code. 

*What I’m offering*:

I’ll work with you in person or over screenshare/hangout on any development 
or coding topic you want, here’s a couple I thought of:

   - better testing 
   - object oriented design 
   - code review 
   - pair programming on topic of your choosing 
   - career stuff (to the extent that I can be helpful. If I can’t answer a 
   question, I’ll try to find a senior dev to answer it.) 
   - refactoring 
   - project planning 
   - writing better Rails code 
   - public speaking/giving tech talks 

*About me*:

   - Been working as a developer full time in Ruby, PHP, and javascript for 
   2 years. 
   - For the three years prior to that I was doing functional MRI research 
   which was entailed heavy coding in a combo of python, MATLAB, and shell 
   scripting. 
   - Additionally, I’m interested in netsec and capture the flags so I’ve 
   done some playing around in assembly and C 
   - Currently I’m teaching myself functional programming and learning 
   Elixir, if you are interested in FP or elixir I’d be happy to learn with 
   you.

Cheers,
