Build-With-Me Intensive – Live Pair Programming with a Senior Engineer

You've been stuck for 2 days. You've Googled it. You've asked ChatGPT. You've tried three different Stack Overflow answers and broken things twice.

What you actually need is a senior engineer to sit with you and work through it.

That's Build-With-Me.

What This Is

Build-With-Me Intensive is a 3-hour live pairing session. You bring a specific problem. We build through it together — not me solving it while you watch, but actual pair programming like you'd do with a senior colleague at a real company.

What makes this different from a typical mentor call:

• 3 full hours — not a 30-minute advice session
• We actually build — not just talk about what you should do
• You see how I think — I narrate my reasoning as I work, not just the answer
• Full recording — rewatch the session anytime
• 3 days of follow-up — Telegram access for questions after the session

By the end, you'll have a working solution (or clear path to one), understand why it works, and have patterns you can reuse independently.

Pick Your Session Type

Unblock Me

You've been stuck on a bug for 2+ days. Nothing you've tried works.

We debug it live together. I narrate my thinking as I work — "I'm checking the network tab first because..." — so you're learning the methodology, not just watching me fix it. You leave with the bug fixed and a debugging framework for similar problems.

Examples: infinite re-renders, API returning undefined, CSS that works in Chrome but not Safari, build succeeds but app crashes.

---

Architecture Review

You're planning a new feature but don't know how to structure it.

We whiteboard the architecture together, I walk you through 2-3 approaches with real trade-offs, we pick one, and you start building it while I coach. You leave with a clear architecture diagram and the first 30% of the feature actually built.

Examples: real-time chat, user roles and permissions, notification systems, offline-first sync.

---

Portfolio Build

You're a career changer. Your projects technically work but don't look senior-level.

We pick one feature, build it together in 3 hours, and I teach you the patterns that signal seniority: error boundaries, loading states, optimistic updates, proper error handling. We deploy it live. You leave with a production-ready feature and a URL you can send to recruiters.

---

Interview Prep

You keep failing technical interviews.

I give you real interview questions (calibrated to the companies you're targeting), you solve them live while I watch, then I give you direct feedback on your thinking process, communication, and approach. I solve it myself while narrating my reasoning. Two or three rounds. You leave with a problem-solving framework and a much clearer picture of what interviewers are actually evaluating.

---

Ship It

You have a project that's 80% done and has been sitting there for months.

We spend 3 hours getting it deployed: hosting, environment variables, custom domain, production debugging, and hitting deploy. You leave with a live URL. Deployed projects get interviews. Local projects don't.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if we don't finish in 3 hours?

The goal isn't necessarily to finish everything — it's to unblock you so you can finish independently. After 3 hours you'll either have a working solution or a clear path to completing it, plus 3 days of Telegram access for follow-up. If the problem is genuinely larger, we book a second session.

How much notice do you need?

At least 48 hours so I can review your problem and prepare. Message me on Telegram if you're unsure about availability.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, for sessions where you're sharing proprietary code. Send it before the session.

What timezone are you in?

Europe/Berlin (CET/CEST). Sessions run 9 AM – 6 PM Berlin time.

What if I need ongoing help, not just one session?

Check out Accountability-as-a-Service for weekly check-ins and async support. Many clients combine it with Build-With-Me sessions.
