Software Engineering Coaches, Events, and Resources

With 12+ years of experience across a variety of company sizes, I am well aware of the needs of a company as well as the general interviewing techniques and tactics that can get you hired.

I've been managing software engineers for most of my career and now manage groups of 10-15 engineers. I've managed and coached several engineers who have specifically called me out for helping them make the next jump in their career after they struggled with it for multiple years. This success has led to some engineers at my company specifically requesting me as a coach. My specialty is in goal setting and follow through. I help people break down their goals into manageable, well-defined steps, and then push for weekly progress. No matter how lofty the goal, making concrete progress every week will get you there.

Welcome to my profile! As a Senior Software Engineer with years of experience in building application development frameworks and end-user applications for technical domains, I have a hands-on style with daily development involvement. I have a Master of Science in Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon University, where I honed my skills in software engineering. Throughout my career, I have worked at top companies such as C3 AI and eBay, where I led and worked on CRM, ESG, and new product development projects. Additionally, I have experience as a co-founder and iOS app developer, creating social and second-hand marketplace apps. With my expertise and coaching experience, I can help you navigate the software engineering field and achieve your career goals. Don't hesitate to reach out and let's discuss how I can assist you!

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of experience. I began as an art school graduate in engineering support and now oversee large-scale development projects and distributed systems. Throughout my career, I've found immense satisfaction in crafting software that empowers various individuals, from digital artists to restaurateurs to fellow engineers. In addition to my engineering expertise, I am a Professional Speaker, Author, and Mentor, helping fellow engineers and business leaders boost collaboration and productivity and grow their careers. I have spoken at over 30 conferences worldwide, sharing my insights on technical skills, team-building advice, and maximizing ROI. If you want to unlock your engineering team's full potential or need guidance in your career, let's connect and discuss how I can help you reach your goals.

I work closely with software engineers to support them on their career journey. If you need a thorough resume review, guidance for behavioral interviews, referrals, or help in building both soft and hard skills, I'm here to assist. Whether you're just starting out, looking to transition to a new role, or aiming to level up in your current position, I'm dedicated to being your career companion!

During my college, I was able to secure internships at Meta, Amazon, Capital One, Lockheed Martin and be in the interview pipeline for a lot of other big tech companies. I received return offer recommendations wherever I interned and will be joining Amazon as an SDE soon. I use my experience of applying to these big tech companies in order to give tips to other students about their application, resume and interviews.

My path from theatre design to MS in Computer Science (Georgia Tech), through Staff Platform Engineer and Software Architecture roles to CTO, taught me that technical excellence and developer happiness are the same goal. As a career switcher who's made the Staff+ transition myself, I understand both the wandering path and what it really takes to level up—it's not just about code, it's about creating environments where engineers thrive. I bring a unique blend of technical depth and human insight: interviewing legends like Kernighan, Beck, and Fowler through Book Overflow while delivering real results—23% cycle time reduction, 2-hour builds to 20 minutes, monthly releases to daily deployments. Whether you're preparing for Staff+, implementing platform engineering, or transforming developer experience, I'll help you stop fighting your tools and start loving your work again. You'll ship faster, stress less, and finally have the influence to fix what's been driving you crazy—because I've been there, fixed it, and know exactly how to get you there too.

Hey there! I’m an SWE II at Amazon who went from a December 2024 new grad out of a non-target CS school to earning a promotion to SWE II in 9 months, leading projects, mentoring an intern to a return offer, all by 22 years old. I now lead a high-impact service that reaches hundreds of millions of customers worldwide and work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to drive results. I love coaching software engineers who want to accelerate their careers, whether you're aiming for your first promo, trying to stand out on your team, or building a long-term path toward top-tier roles. I can also help with interview prep, networking strategies, and personal branding so you can grow with clarity and confidence.

I’ve spent the last 8+ years building software at some of the world’s leading tech companies—including Google, Amazon, Adobe, and STMicroelectronics—where I worked on distributed systems, large-scale infrastructure, and cutting-edge applications. Across these roles, problem-solving using data structures and algorithms has been the foundation of my success, helping me tackle real-world engineering challenges at scale. Alongside my industry career, I’ve been mentoring aspiring engineers for over 4 years through CodeHarmony.dev, the training platform I founded to help people sharpen their problem-solving mindset. I’ve guided hundreds of students and professionals to level up their coding skills, strengthen their fundamentals, and prepare for interviews at top product-based companies. My coaching is hands-on, practical, and designed to help you not just crack interviews but also grow into a stronger software engineer.

With over 25 years of experience in the tech industry, including leadership roles at Google and Uber, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching practice. As a coach and mentor at IGotAnOffer, I've helped over 500 tech managers and senior developers enhance their skills and confidence through mock interviews and personalized coaching sessions, earning consistent 5-star ratings and a 40% repeat client rate. My background in engineering management and team development equips me to guide you through the complexities of software engineering career advancement. Whether you're preparing for a technical interview or looking to refine your leadership skills, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and chart your path to success in the tech world!
