ABOUT ME
AI SaaS Founder | Hands-on Python, Go & AI/LLM Mentor
AI SaaS Founder | Hands-on Python, Go & AI/LLM Mentor
I'm Tom, an AI SaaS founder with 8+ years across Python, Go, Java, JavaScript, and C#. I've run 800+ mentoring sessions with a 5.0-star rating across 53 reviews.
I mentor hands-on: we look at your actual code, find what's broken, and fix it together. No hand-waving, no generic "just use AI" advice.
What I help with: AI/LLM app development (integrations, agents, automation), Python and Go debugging and architecture, dev-to-AI career transition, and indie hacker / SaaS building. Currently building an AI tool for X/Twitter growth in public, day 200+.

Tom gave some good high level points on how to get unstuck but I was looking for more detailed troubleshooting or guidance when it came to chrome extentions and connecting them to a database.
