Mentoring · 1:1
One hour, your codebase, and someone who’s shipped this stuff.
Not a course. Not a coaching package. One-on-one sessions where we look at your work together — the prompts you’re writing, the workflow you’ve built, the spot where the agent keeps disappointing you — and I show you what I’d do.
The first session is free. Thirty minutes, your real work, no pitch — if it doesn’t help, you’ve lost half an hour.
Who you’d be working with
I’m Ravinder. I run AISOFT, and I build production AI systems day to day with coding agents as the default — not as a side experiment, but as how the work actually ships.
Every product on the AISOFT work page was built this way. One of them, Undervolt, took first place at the NVIDIA DGX AITX hackathon. I also lead GenAI engineering inside a regulated financial-services company — so I’ve run agents where the governance and the stakes are real, not just in a sandbox.
That’s the whole basis for this. I’m not teaching theory off a slide — I’m showing you what’s working on my own screen the same week.
What we actually work on
Whatever’s in your way. Most sessions land in one of these:
Writing tasks an agent can actually finish. The spec, the constraints, the test for “done.” If the agent keeps handing back something close-but-wrong, the brief is usually where to fix it.
A review pass. A short standard for what your team ships, encoded as a check the agent runs against its own output before handing work back. Same idea as a code-review rubric, automated.
Design as a file the agent reads. A DESIGN.md the agent picks up on every task with a surface, so the output looks intentional instead of generated.
A second brain for the agent. The context layer the next session reads automatically — your conventions, your past decisions, your scars — so it stops re-asking and starts compounding.
Running agents in parallel without losing the plot. Two or three streams active at once, kept coherent. The discipline that scales per-person, not per-hire.
The shipping discipline. Review gates the work has to pass. Never claiming done without proof. The boring parts that decide whether your agent output survives contact with real users.
What a session looks like
One hour. Video, or in person if you’re in Austin. You bring something you’re actually working on — a task you’ve been dodging, a refactor, a bug, a workflow that feels janky. We open it together. I show you how I’d approach it. You try the pattern in the editor while we’re still on the call. By the end, one new thing is installed in how you work, and you have a written note on what to try this week.
Who this is for
Engineers who already use Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, and suspect they’re leaving most of the leverage on the table. Small product teams thinking about agentic-first development and unsure where to start. Founder-builders shipping AI products who want the discipline that separates a demo from production.
Most of the time is spent in the editor. We assume you can read a diff and ship code.
What it costs
The first session is free — thirty minutes, long enough to see if more would help. After that we pick the shape that fits: a one-off deep dive, a block of four, or a standing weekly slot. Pricing depends on the engagement, and we settle it once we know what you actually need.
One honest thing: I keep mentoring to a handful of people at a time, around the rest of the work. If the slots are full when you reach out, I’ll tell you straight — and point you at the open curriculum below in the meantime.
The curriculum is open
Everything I teach is also in the open curriculum — sixteen hands-on lessons, every artifact public and forkable. Mentoring is for when you’d rather have a guide in the room than work through it alone.
If one of these is the spot you’re stuck in, booking costs you nothing and the worst case is thirty minutes. Easy call.
