Coach for non-traditional engineers breaking into tech or leveling up
Hi, I’m Frances! 👋🏽 I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Slack, and I’ve been mentoring aspiring engineers since 2016—hosting over 350 sessions and clocking 250+ hours with organizations like Formation, Fullstack Academy, Code2040, Springboard, Thinkful, and Next Chapter. Along the way, I’ve helped a wide range of folks—from career switchers to senior engineers—find clarity and confidence in their path. I’ve supported career changers from fields like education, the military, and retail as they completed bootcamps and navigated their first dev roles. I’ve guided early-career engineers and interns through mock interviews, salary negotiation, and landing that critical first full-time offer. I’ve also mentored returning citizens breaking into tech, helping them overcome systemic barriers with strong portfolios and interview prep. And for mid-level engineers ready to level up, I’ve coached them on performance reviews, cross-functional impact, and promotion strategies. I’ve served as both an interviewer and engineering manager at Slack, so I bring an insider perspective on how hiring decisions get made and what sets standout candidates apart. As a proud Latina in tech, I center empathy, clarity, and real-world structure in every session—whether you’re just starting out or aiming for your next big leap. 💪🏽 Bonus: I’m the gold sponsor of the 👩🏽💻 emoji—and a proud Corgi mom. 🐾
