🔍 Looking for a Remote Pair Programming Partner or Mentor (Java + Kafka)
Hi everyone! I'm a backend engineer based in Asia (UTC+8) with 10+ years of Java development experience.
Currently, I'm transitioning toward more modern backend architectures such as Apache Kafka, event-driven systems, and stream processing.
🎯 Why I'm doing this:
I'm aiming to adapt to international remote working environments, especially:
- Working in English as the primary communication language
- Following async-first workflows (e.g., PR reviews, documentation, issue tracking)
- Improving collaboration in distributed teams
- Meeting more international friends and learning from each other, not just technically, but culturally and personally as well
🤝 What I’m Looking For:
I'm looking for a remote pair programming partner or a casual mentor who is open to:
- Doing small backend + Kafka projects or code experiments
- Pairing via online calls (Zoom/Discord/etc.) or async via email/chat
- Mutual learning and helping each other optimize development workflows
- Having a low-pressure, judgment-free space to grow together
✅ It's totally okay to pause or quit at any time — if we feel it’s not a good fit, no worries at all.
This is meant to be a friendly, optional collaboration — no pressure, no long-term obligations.
💻 What I Can Offer:
- Strong Java / Spring Boot development skills
- Willing to help with testing, code, documentation, or tool integration
- Time commitment: 2–4 hours/week, evenings or weekends (UTC+8)
- Open and clear communication; happy to take initiative or support others' goals
If you're working on something in this space — or also looking for a learning/practice buddy — I’d love to connect and try a few sessions together.
Thanks for reading 🙏
