What Mentees Say

"I came to Cassell while trying to transition into a more technical role and feeling overwhelmed by where to start. He broke things down in a way that made complex topics feel approachable and helped me understand how the pieces actually fit together. Beyond the technical guidance, he gave me a clear framework for learning and growing with confidence. I left our sessions with a stronger foundation, a clearer direction, and a lot more belief in my own potential."

Mason Beard

Solution Architect, Salesforce FSC

"Working with Shane fundamentally improved how I approach prompt engineering. Instead of focusing on trial-and-error prompts, he helped me understand how to clearly structure intent, context, and constraints so AI systems respond more reliably. His guidance was practical, easy to apply, and immediately improved the quality and consistency of my results. I now feel confident not just using AI tools, but reasoning with them."
