Thanks for providing this opportunity, I really appreciate it.
I started studying web development about 2 years ago when I found out it could help me unleash my creativity using code. I’m comfortable with JavaScript, Node JS, React.
I learnt about blockchain technology a few months ago and dived right into it as I am positive about it’s potential and have been studying aggressively to know more about it. I have a few solidity projects I built following tutorials and a simple dex I built entirely on my own to check how much I have learnt (www.github.com/icepaigez)
I am hoping to learn enough to build mission critical apps as part of a team, as well as launch a start-up in the near future and was excited when I saw your call for mentoring: I am aggressive about learning (I spend about 10 hours daily after my day job studying to get better at my craft) and building stuff(currently working through a hackathon) and would consider it a privilege to learn from you.
Got to this forum while looking for Ethereum mentors. I’m excited to see that you’re buidl-ing a community where blockchain-passionated devs gather around. I feel very lucky that I got here.
Let me introduce myself. I’m a Software Engineer working in the field of AI/Computer Vision. I’ll be in this field for 5 years since my Master’s graduation. I’m very passionate about new technology so that I can spend most of my spare time researching and get my hand dirty. Blockchain is no exception for me, I already took an Ethereum course by Stephen on Udemy but learning never stops so I gotta take this chance. My interest in blockchain are DeFi, GamingFi, and more new ideas.
Looking forward to seeing your message in my Inbox.
Thank you!!
My name is Chad and I’d love the opportunity to be mentored by you! My goal is to find a job as a developer in the ETH ecosystem within the next 6 months.
I have a bit of an unconventional background for an aspiring developer. For the past decade I’ve been writing music and touring with my band which I still do. When not on tour I work for a company building guitar amplifiers.
I’ve been interested in crypto for the past 6 years or so and I’m enamored with the Ethereum community and want to get involved in a larger way.
I have experience with HTML, CSS, JS and Python. I’m currently taking a Solidity course on Udemy. I’m a motivated self-learner but having a mentor would be so helpful!
I appreciate you taking the time to help so many people.
Would love to be able to apply as a mentee. I have been learning the basics of solidity from a combination of some of the resources you put up on Twitter as well as some of the resources shared by others in the space.
I am a React Developer hoping to transition into the web3 space potentially going into developer advocacy and have commited to learning some of this stuff in public and sharing my journey as I go through it.
Hey Austin,
super cool that you’ve made this offer as I know your time is valuable and you already have many people reaching out to you. As such, I have no huge expectation of you having time to help me out but never the less it would be cool!
I’ve been getting into your scaffold-eth project starter and your youtube a lot recently and it seems like a great way to start building a DApp with the goal of learning more solidity.
I am a FE developer working for another L1 blockchain company currently but am very excited by the possibilities and dev ecosystem/tooling of ETH/solidity so I want to learn here as well. My ultimate goal for my career is to work more as a fullstack with smart contracts and as such I am trying to keep learning solidity.
I have an idea for a project I am hoping to build for the next eth global hackathon and it would be cool to chat with you to brainstorm a bit and get a sense of the roadmap I would need to implement my vision. Or maybe just clarify some things I still need to learn about solidity.
Feel free to reach out if you have some time! Thanks again.
I’m Kumar from India, I am a python and javascript developer who is learning Solidity. I’ve also been following through your scaffold-eth guide and experimenting with different smart contracts.
I got into the web 3.0 space as I want to use smart contracts as a way to make interesting on-chain social networks. I would love to sign up for the mentorship.
Hi Austiin,
I am Haris Shaukat and currently looking for internship training or mentorship in the field of blockchain. I am student in Asia Pacific University of technology and innovation (Malaysia) doing bachelors hons in Computer Science with specialism in Intelligent systems and recently completed my 2nd year out of 3 and now looking for internship training/mentorship along with that I have developed huge interest in the field of blockchain and cryptocurrencies and really thrived and eager to learn more about this technology with some practical experience with you i am well familiar with all the basics of blockchain technology and know a bit of solidity too but haven’t worked much on it yet. I saw this posting of you and see that you are offering a great opportunity by helping trainees or beginners like me excel in this field so i would love to be mentee of you and i assure you my full dedication to whatever the learning experience you will be providing me. If you will be required any other information please do DM me. My other contacts as follow:

Hi Austin
I am a software dev with approximately 4 years of experience. I work with Javascript (React.Js and Node.Js) and Java. I have dipped my toe in the blockchain world and learnt Solidity and deployed a few smart contracts on the Ropsten testnet . I am mostly a self learner, but right now I strongly feel the need for some direction, that’s why I would love some guidance from you.
Hi Austin,
I am software engineer with 5 years of experience in Data Communication.
I am working on TCP/IP layer 3 protocols like OSPF, BGP, MPLS. I came across Blockchain world around 2017 and since then I am very much interested to learn more about it. I have been learning solidity and will be very lucky to have you as mentor. Please consider me as your humble pupil, looking forward to learn from you.

My name is Mark and I’m a software engineer with about 9 years of experience. The majority of that time has been full stack development, but most recently I joined a small team to be the lead front end developer on an early stage product. I’ve been doing a lot of research/reading lately on web3, and I’m ready to start diving in and doing some development. I’d love the opportunity to learn from you, if you’re still accepting people!
Early in the pandemic, I left a career as a physics teacher to pursue one in data engineering. During the subsequent crypto bull run, I decided that I must contribute to the most important technological and financial revolution of my lifetime. I’m fully on the bandwagon now, but I had been lurking here quietly for awhile.
I’ve been catching up with the technical depth of the space for months now, but I have lacked mentorship to help me buidl meaningful projects and fully transition to the space professionally.
Here are some of the resources that I’ve worked through:
Ethereum 2.0 studymaster 10 week program
Udemy Ethereum and Solidity: The complete developer’s guide
OpenZepplin “Ethernaut” Solidity contract security game, 4/23 complete
Terra Academy: Rust and CosmWasm contracts
MIT opencourseware:

|–Cryptocurrency Engineering and Design
Andreas Antonopolos: Mastering Bitcoin and Mastering Ethereum
Countless other blogs, forums, talks, and podcasts
It sounds like I would be a good match for your mentorship program. I already have much of the software and blockchain fundamentals down, and would benefit from guidance to create a polished portfolio and establish a career in smart contract development.
This is an amazing opportunity and I would love to take advantage of it. I am a software engineer with 6 years experience, currently working at a traditional finance company. My primary experience is with Java/Typescript (working in a Spring/Angular stack). Also, have significant devops/cloud experience building deployment pipelines. https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanboyle87. I currently work on optimization problems for traders. Coding is a second career for me, I was an attorney before I joined Launch Academy, a software development bootcamp.
I’ve been following crypto since around 2016. I was immediately drawn to Ethereum when it came out primarily because of the smart contract aspect (I was a lawyer at the time). Following the ICO boom/bust, I’ll admit my interest had waned but I still followed a lot of people in the crypto industry. Earlier this year I started to see a ton of activity around Defi and NFTs. When I dug into it I was amazed at the amount of creativity/real use cases being built on top of Ethereum. I have been doing a deep dive ever since and am ready to move my software career into the crypto space.
I saw your scaffold-eth video in the ethglobal youtube today. I did some googling and ended up here!
I’m actually a corporate / project finance guy looking to make the switch to developing and learning about the whole eth ecosystem especially the DAO side of things. I’m currently enrolled in the consensys bootcamp but would love to supplement that with some more training.
I’m mpj from Indonesia, I’m a big fan of yours since I follow your YouTube channel and love to use your tool https://eth.build/, I aspire to be at the level of yours who can buidl tools for other engineers.
My background is from web2 with strong academic background in general engineering. I hack my way in the industry from being a QA to DevOps, to software engineer. Now the time for me to be a web3 engineer.
My name is Dimitar and I am an intermediate web developer who is slowly diving into web3 development.
I am currently attending the blockchain development bootcamp from ConsenSys, and I am finishing my final project assignment. Last week I was watching your presentation on scaffold-eth, and I am fascinated on how easy it is to get up and going with this dev stack. The last week I’ve been playing around with scaffold-eth and I think I can manage to cope with it, although I won’t be using it for my final assignment because I want to do the things manually at first and also the whole bootcamp is leaned more towards truffle and not hardhat.
With that said, I will be honored if I have the privilege to have you as my mentor.
Thank you very much for doing this, this is great.
My name is Armin, I work in a data analytics/data science kind of role in the financial services industry and am thus most experienced with Python and R. I am deep into crypto, especially everything related to DeFi, and recently started working on levelling up my Solidity dev skills to contribute to the ecosystem as a builder as well.
I completed a Chainlink blockchain development bootcamp, am currently participating in their fall hackathon and am also in the process of going through Ethernaut/CryptoZombies. By now, I feel I have some basic Solidity proficiency and I think mentoring could really help me make great strides forward from here.
It would be an honour to be mentored by you and I hope to hear from you.
