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. 🐾

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.

Hi I'm Jake, a Software Engineer working at Leland. My professional journey includes roles at Leland and Sandbox, where I've honed my skills in React.js, Tauri, full-stack development and more. I've also gained valuable experience as a Software Engineering Intern at Metasource and as a Web Developer at the Center for Entrepreneurship in Utah Valley. My teaching experience at BYU encompasses Python programming and web development, has equipped me with the ability to guide others in mastering complex technical concepts. Whether you're looking to break into software engineering or advance your skills, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and create a tailored plan for your success!

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. For example, I will help identifying your life goals and use them as your "North Star" and your motivation. I will discuss personal finance and investments to reach financial freedom quicker. I will recommend podcasts and books based on your interests to help you acquire knowledge and forge the right mindset and attitude. Let's chat!

I have over 10 years of experience building and maintaining production-level systems. I worked in many industries, from fintech to cloud infrastructure.

Hi, I'm Cannon! I’m a software engineer who loves helping people level up their engineering skills. Over the last five years I’ve worked on everything from backend systems and cloud infrastructure to DevOps pipelines and blockchain projects. Right now I’m at Leland building the very platform you're using with Java, React, GraphQL, and AWS. Before that I interned at Amazon on the Alexa team where I integrated AI and large language models into certification workflows. I’ve also helped launch an NFT marketplace, optimized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes, and even co-founded a startup through BYU’s Sandbox Program. I know what it’s like to ship code, scale systems, and juggle the messy parts of real-world engineering. Whether you’re growing your backend fundamentals, getting hands-on with cloud, or curious about blockchain, I’d love to help you level up.
