Project-Based Mentorship
You can code. But building something real still feels hard.
If you want to go deeper than tutorials or AI-generated code and build something real, I offer technical mentorship with a human touch and deep experience in Rust and Python.
Together we can grow your confidence as an engineer and build real systems along the way.
Builders Sprint
If you can write code, but get stuck when trying to build something real, this is where we'll start.
We'll work together over five sessions to take something that feels too big and make it buildable. Think of it as having a second brain on a thorny project.
This often looks like:
- figuring out where to start on a project that’s been sitting in your head
- breaking a system into concrete pieces and a clear plan for what to build next
- tracing through your code to understand what’s happening and why
- building something end-to-end, not just following tutorials
- making jokes about how print statement debugging never goes out of style
Bring something you're stuck on, or we'll spec out a project together.
The goal is simple: you stop feeling stuck, you build something real end-to-end, and you know how to keep going on your own.
Five 60-minute sessions (typically weekly): $625
What Past Mentees Are Saying
"Working with Tyler helped me develop the mindset of building a rough draft first and then improving it gradually. I used to fear building large projects, but now I feel much more prepared to handle complex tasks at work."
"Tyler clearly cares about his students, and he makes learning complex topics enjoyable. I’ve had fun learning with him and look forward to continuing. I highly recommend him as a teacher."
"I would definitely recommend it to a friend. It helped me dive deeper into the Rust ecosystem and build confidence that I can write even more complicated apps in it. Tyler is a great mentor!"
"Tyler is patient, very knowledgeable, and has great insights into why things in Rust are done a certain way."
"Tyler has a strong background in Rust and web development. His insights are helping me understand backend fundamentals while also making progress with Rust."
"Tyler is very knowledgeable about backend technologies and is happy to help. He has broadened my coding horizons."

Builders Check-in
One 45-minute session per month to stay on track, talk through challenges, and keep building.
This is great if you:
- want a second set of eyes occasionally
- need help thinking through a tricky part of a project
- are tired of your project only living in your own head
One session per month: $75/month.
FAQs
Why not just use AI?
Fair question! I don't see it as either-or.
AI is great for generating code and getting up to speed on new libraries. But I've found that many engineers get stuck when they try to extend that code or overwhelmed trying to understand their system.
In our sessions, we'll use AI when it's helpful. We'll also make sure you understand what's happening, so you can actually build confidently on your own.
I'm a beginner. Can You Still Help Me?
Absolutely! While my direct mentorship is typically geared toward intermediate 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.

Meet Your Mentor – Tyler Green
I’ve logged over 300 hours of 1:1 mentorship in Rust and Python, helping engineers move beyond "it works" and actually understand the systems they’re building.
My work focuses on building software from scratch, as a way to see through every layer of the stack and develop real confidence.
My goal isn’t just to help you ship code, it’s to help you build an engineering craft that feels your own and a career that feels sustainable.
