I started my career at Microsoft as a Software Engineer, where I built a strong foundation in software development, problem-solving, and delivering high-quality technical solutions. With over 10 years of experience in Big Tech, I’ve since advanced into leadership roles, including my current position as a Senior Product Manager at Microsoft. This journey taught me not only how to excel as an engineer but also how to leverage technical skills to drive business outcomes. My experience spans Technical Support Engineering, Software Engineering, and Program Management, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the software development lifecycle. I’ve worked directly with development teams to deliver impactful software, informed by both technical perspectives and end-user needs. I help aspiring engineers get their first role, navigate career transitions, or level up their skills to stand out in competitive environments. From mastering coding interviews to improving core skills like system design, debugging, and collaboration, I provide actionable insights to help you succeed in your software engineering career. Whether you’re looking to break into the field, grow as an engineer, or move into a leadership role, I’m here to guide you. With a practical, no-fluff approach, I’ll help you confidently achieve your career goals and unlock your full potential as a software engineer.

I'm a Software Development Engineer at Google and a deferred MBA admit to Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. I’ve previously interned at JPMorgan Chase and Capital One, where I built large-scale tools for system optimization and operational efficiency. Across these experiences, I've not only navigated the recruiting process at top tech firms, but also developed a deep understanding of what it takes to stand out—from crafting standout resumes to excelling in behavioral and technical interviews. Whether you're breaking into tech, navigating internship recruiting, or balancing software engineering and business goals, I’m here to help you move with clarity and confidence.

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 got a music degree in 2009, switched careers multiple times and landed in IT in 2015, and eventually climbed to Tech Lead in 2025. I am well liked and well respected in all my tech jobs, and have not failed a single job interview since 2021. Like everybody else, it's a mix of hard work and luck, but if I can do it, anyone can! What sets me apart as your coach is first, I generally don't give advices but will ask clarifying questions to guide you through uncertainties so you can forge your own path; second, I look at the big picture, the overall wellbeing.

Hi, I'm Lauren. I am a former senior software engineer at Google and current Stanford MBA. I'd love to help you grow your software engineering career! At Google I grew from a junior engineer to an engineering manager, touching a wide variety of systems. I led projects that spanned consumer and enterprise, scrappy prototyping to multi-year production scale projects, and from building the cloud to building on the cloud. At Waze, I led teams to launch innovative products like the Waze Parking and Gas Discount experiments, creating entirely new revenue streams that generated millions annually. I love coaching engineers through both technical and leadership growth, and have led several engineers on my team through successful promotions. I'd love to chat with you about how to grow your engineering career!
