HOW IT WORKS

Five steps to a plan that fits.

Every step is tracked in your private workflow, from kick-off to the plan landing in your inbox.

01
Kick-off
Pick a date to begin. No card, no commitment — just a starting point.
02
Share your CV
I read it personally. The AI surfaces what's worth asking about.
03
Targeted questions
A short set of sharp follow-ups, anchored on the role you want.
04
Plan drafted
I receive a private briefing on you and write the first draft.
05
Approved & sent
I refine, sign off, and the plan lands in your inbox within 48h.
Free Orientation Plan

Begin your written career plan.
The rest unfolds.

You'll be walked through your CV, a handful of pointed questions, and a written plan in your inbox within 48 hours — reviewed by me, not auto-generated.

What you get
A plan you can actually execute
  • Written plan delivered within 48h
  • Milestone checkpoints to track your progress
  • A practical project to execute
  • Optional mentoring support if you want help executing

Weekly mentoring is offered after delivery — only if you decide you want help executing the plan.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT

A portfolio that pays you back. A mentor who actually shows up.

  • An honest read on where you are — and what's between you and the role
  • A week-by-week plan, role-specific, with success metrics you can defend in interviews
  • Theory, hands-on drills, and a real project you'll be proud to demo (and could sell)
  • Private messaging with me on the platform — no Slack, no group calls
  • Weekly briefs delivered automatically once I've approved them

"Joining Build and Ship Academy has been a game-changer for my career development. The mentorship here is phenomenal. Esperance genuinely cares about your progression and pushes you to succeed. The focus isn't just on learning theory, but on practical execution, documenting real-world implementations, and building a high-impact portfolio. If you want to gain actual engineering confidence and fast-track your technical career, this is exactly where you need to be. Highly recommended!"
