Clarify the goal
We define what you actually want to achieve, what is already known, and which assumptions need to be tested.
OutcomeA clear goal and a smaller problem you can work on.
Technical mentoring
Good questions lead to decisions you can own.
As a Space Eagle at 42 Warsaw, I mentored new participants during the four-week Piscine, an intensive, on-campus introduction to peer-to-peer and project-based learning. I helped participants navigate the programme, reason through problems, and find their own next steps, while also supporting the organisation of the learning environment. I bring the same question-led approach to mentoring at HackYeah 2026.

01 / How I mentor
Mentoring that builds independence.
We work on a real goal or blocker. I bring questions, structure, and relevant experience, not a ready-made answer.
Reason through the problem
Before: the problem feels too large or unclear to begin.After: you can name the blocker, compare options, and choose what to check next.
OutcomeA line of reasoning you understand and can continue independently.
Turn insight into action
We turn what you learned into a realistic next step. When tools or AI are involved, you remain the decision-maker and review sensitive actions yourself.
OutcomeA next step you chose, with reasons and checks you can explain.
02 / Who mentoring is for
For people who want guidance while keeping ownership of their decisions.
- 42 Warsaw students, Piscine participants, and other self-directed learners working through a difficult project.
- Hackathon participants who need help clarifying the goal, dividing the work, or making a decision under time pressure.
- Early-career engineers who want to strengthen problem-solving habits instead of copying an answer.
03 / How mentoring works
Your goal stays at the centre.
You bring a goal and the context you can safely share. I guide the conversation with questions, structure, and practical examples.
Bring your goal
Tell me what you want to achieve, what you have tried, and where you feel stuck.
Make the problem visible
We separate facts from assumptions and break the challenge into smaller parts.
Explore your options
I ask questions, check assumptions, and share relevant experience when it helps.
Choose your next step
You decide what to do next and leave able to explain why.
04 / Mentoring
What are you trying to achieve?
If you are working through a technical project and feel stuck, send me your goal, what you have already tried, and the question you cannot answer yet. If my experience is relevant, we can talk.
