Mentorship
Want to actually understand the code you're writing?
Whether you’re a self-taught developer, a career-changer, or just someone who wants to go deeper than the tutorials, I offer technical mentorship with a human touch.
Let’s work toward confidence, clarity, and tools that actually make sense to you.
How It Works
These sessions are built around you. Whether you need technical growth, career clarity, or just a second brain on a thorny project, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build from there.
Have a project in mind? Bring it! Or we can dream one up together. I promise it won’t be FizzBuzz.
Prefer async check-ins or text-based mentorship? That’s available too.

Topics I Can Help With
- Library & Framework Development: Learn how to design and publish your own Rust or Python libraries.
- Web Servers From Scratch: Build HTTP servers and explore the architecture behind modern web tools.
- Concurrency & Multithreading: Write efficient async and multithreaded code in Rust and Python.
- Interpreter Design: Understand how languages work by building your own Python interpreter.
- Computer Architecture: Dive into digital logic, assembly, and how computers work under-the-hood.
- Career Development: Grow your skills, navigate early-career challenges, and ask questions you wished people asked at work.
- Transitioning to Self-Employment: I’ve done it myself. I can help you figure out your next step.
If I've written about it on From Scratch Code or Press, chances are we can go deep on it together.
FAQs
I'm a Beginner. Can You Still Help Me?
Absolutely! While my direct mentorship is typically geared toward intermediate-to-advanced engineers, I want learning to be accessible at any level. I offer beginner tutoring through Wyzant at a lower rate, and I'm always happy to support early-career engineers.
Why build from scratch?
Because it's fun! And because it forces you to truly understand what you're building. That makes you faster, more confident, and better at building tools others can rely on.
What if I need to miss a session?
Totally fine! Rescheduling is flexible.

Meet Your Mentor – Tyler Green
I’ve logged over 200 hours of 1:1 mentorship in Rust and Python and have spent the last few years building interpreters, REST APIs, and developer tools from scratch, often just to see how they work.
I care about kindness, curiosity, and building a career that doesn’t burn you out. If that resonates, I’d love to help you take the next step.
