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.

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience in software engineering and leadership roles, I have a proven track record of building and leading high-performing teams at innovative companies like Tomo and Claravine. As a Director of Software Engineering, I have successfully led the development of cutting-edge real estate portals and CRM systems, driving industry-leading performance and customer satisfaction. My passion for mentoring and developing talent is evident from my time as a Lead Instructor at DevMountain, where I helped students transform their careers through coding. Having coached 5 individuals to achieve their software engineering goals, I am eager to help you navigate your career path and reach your full potential. Let's connect and create a plan for your success!

Being in the software engineering space for over 20 years across multiple roles and organizations of different shapes and sizes has taught me a thing or two about how to build teams and deliver some incredible projects. I specialize in leading product and platform engineering teams at mid to late stage + enterprise organizations. I have been a people leader now for over 10 years and have had the fortune or working with some really good folks; some who achieved great results and some who didn't that gave me an opportunity to find ways to unlock their careers. Additionally, I am an advisor to VCs, early strange start ups and consult on various expert consulting platforms like Tegus. How can I help you? Or what can I coach you on? Really anything in people leadership like how to promote platform engineers, how to write strategy documents? How do I get promoted to Director? What should an interview panel look like for an infra engineer? How to resolve conflicts at work? How to read a room? How to run an effective meeting? How to continue to remain technical as a people leader? You have a need, feel free to ask and we can go from there.

I coach software engineers and technical professionals from the perspective of someone who has built and hired for high-performing engineering teams. At Amazon, I led the Prime Now Tech recruiting team, partnering closely with engineering and product leaders to scale a software organisation focused on supply chain optimisation and last-mile logistics at significant operational scale. I understand how engineers are evaluated — not only for technical capability, but for ownership, systems thinking, collaboration, and measurable impact. While I do not coach on technical coding assessments, I specialise in career strategy, promotion readiness, behavioural interviews, and navigating growth within complex organisations. I also work with engineers in a broader life coaching capacity — supporting decision-making, confidence, leadership presence, burnout prevention, and personal transitions that often accompany demanding technical careers. I bring formal executive coaching training along with ADHD coaching certification, equipping me to support diverse cognitive styles with clarity and strengths-based strategy. My approach integrates career advancement with whole-person alignment — ambition, wellbeing, relationships, and long-term sustainability in high-performance environments.

I am a Staff Software Engineer at LinkedIn with more than twelve years of hands-on experience building and operating large-scale backend and full-stack systems, including LinkedIn’s latest generative AI products like AccountIQ and Seller Assistant. Inside LinkedIn I mentor engineers through our formal coaching program, guiding them from entry level to senior and staff roles while sharpening their system-design thinking, coding-interview skills, and promotion or compensation negotiation strategies. I also volunteer with Code Tenderloin and coach privately, helping career switchers break into engineering roles at leading global tech firms such as Google, Amazon, and other Fortune 500 innovators. Clients who work with me routinely achieve concrete results in six to eight weeks: landing new roles, securing promotions, and delivering complex features with improved reliability and performance. My coaching blends deep technical insight with clear, actionable feedback and a strong focus on mindset, so you leave each session equipped with both the hard skills and the confidence needed to excel in today’s software-engineering landscape.

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.

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.

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.
