With Anatolii Merezhanyi

What’s between you and a Senior role?

We look at how you work with others, how you make your contribution visible, and where technical gaps may be holding you back. Then we work on what matters for your next step — at work or in an interview.

One-hour sessionsOne session or an agreed series

In your languageEnglish, Ukrainian or Russian

Start with a gap analysis.

We compare your experience, feedback and goals to identify what to work on first. That may mean making your contribution visible, preparing for interviews or closing a technical gap.

Communication and contribution

Explain decisions, discuss trade-offs, and make your actual contribution clear. Work on conversations with teammates and your manager, including expectations, feedback, and career development.

Experience and interviews

Put your experience into clear examples of what you did and why it mattered. Prepare for technical and HR interviews, including questions about decisions, teamwork, and difficult situations.

Technical skills and judgment

Find gaps in your understanding and work through technical decisions, code, or problems from practice. Depending on your goals, sessions can include code review and technical discussions in JavaScript, Python, or Java.

With feedback between sessions to discuss what you tried and what to work on next.

How we’ll work together.

There is no fixed programme to fit into. We agree on the focus and format around what you need to work on.

  1. Write to me

    Tell me about your current role, what you want to change, and what feels difficult. We will discuss whether mentoring fits your needs and agree on the focus, terms, and meeting time by email.

  2. Look at where you are now

    We compare your experience with the role or situation you are working towards. Technical knowledge, responsibilities, feedback from your manager, and how you present your work can all help us identify the gaps that matter.

  3. Work on specific situations

    In one-hour sessions, we can review code, work through a technical question, rehearse an interview, or prepare for a conversation at work. Arrange a single session or a series, with feedback between meetings.

We will agree on the scope, price, and schedule by email before starting.

I’m Anatolii Merezhanyi.

I’m a software engineer based in the EU (Poland). I’ve led teams, conducted technical interviews, and taught developers.

My mentoring brings those perspectives together: understanding the technical work, working with people, and explaining decisions and experience.

My engineering work includes the Rust library voca_rs, used in Brave Browser. I also build my own products, including BugEater, a gamified learning platform for QA, Business Analysis, and Project Management.

How colleagues describe working with me

These recommendations come from people I have worked with on engineering teams and projects. They describe my approach to technical work, explaining ideas, and leading teams.
