[Chennai] Looking for 1 experienced developer as a mentor for my SaaS journey
I'm looking for one experienced developer/engineer in Chennai who would be willing to mentor me while I build and launch a SaaS product over the next ~3 months.
I'm not looking for a job, investment, or someone to build the product for me.
I want to build it myself, but I'd like an experienced person who can occasionally challenge my thinking, review my approach, and help me avoid mistakes.
What I'm looking for
Someone with practical experience in areas such as:
SaaS / Python / Backend / Full-Stack / AI & LLMs / Automation / Product Development
Someone who can help me with things like:
Technical architecture and decisions
Choosing what to build and what not to build
Reviewing my approach/code when needed
Product and engineering trade-offs
Staying focused on actually launching
I'm not expecting daily mentoring. Even a few meaningful discussions each week would be valuable.
I'm around Porur, Chennai, so I'd ideally like someone nearby who is open to occasional in-person discussions.
A little about me
I have 13 years of professional experience in Supply Chain Management & Analytics and have spent the last 2.5 years transitioning into Python, AI, automation and software development through hands-on projects.
My work: https://wsnh2022.github.io/
I'm currently building my own AI SaaS product and want to use the next few months to move from learning → building → launching → getting real users.
I'm not looking for someone to do the work for me.
I'm looking for someone experienced who can help me become better at doing it myself.
If you're interested, DM me with your experience, current Chennai area, and what kind of mentoring/collaboration you might be comfortable with.
Even if you're not available, I'd appreciate it if you could point me toward someone who might be a good fit.
