Hey Edwin
First of all, when looking for a mentor one of the things you gotta have to make it better for you and the mentor is to have clear expectations of what you want to accomplish and also how could you be able to establish the communication with said mentor.

Ideally, the mentor should not only be a person technically skilled in your area of dev (i.e. Ruby) but also someone who has the time, the disposition, the right attitude and overall has that sense of caring for others and giving back to the tech community.

Two places I recommend for you to look for that person are codingcoach and mentorcruise.

Good luck on your journey and keep on going!
