Welcome to my profile! I'm Dallen, a seasoned Software Engineer with experience working for industry giants like Amazon and Goldman Sachs. With a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics, I bring a unique analytical perspective to software engineering. Whether you're looking to break into software engineering, or improve your skills, I'm here to guide you through the process. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan to achieve your career goals!

I broke into Verily (an Alphabet subsidiary) as a new grad without a single formal SWE internship, recruiting during one of the toughest markets in recent memory, at a moment when AI was fundamentally reshaping how companies screen and hire. I know firsthand how to navigate a process that's moving fast and often feels opaque. Since joining Verily, I've seen it from both sides: the resumes that make it past screening and exactly what strong technical candidates look like in an interview room. I focus on the full pipeline: building a resume that gets past AI screeners, preparing for technical interviews, and leveraging networking in a market where who you know matters more than ever. If you're trying to break in without a perfect background, I'd love to help.

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.

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.

Software Engineer at Microsoft with a CS degree from Carnegie Mellon (#1 CS school in the US), where I specialized in Machine Learning and Security & Privacy. I've worked at Microsoft, Splunk (acquired by Cisco), and Stryker across tech stacks. Secured final rounds at Apple, NVIDIA, OpenAI, SIG. Got tech job offers in Big 4 consulting, financials, and numerous government defense contractors. Published as first-author at a top-tier ACM conference. As a Head Teaching Assistant for CMU's flagship computer security course, I've guided over 120 students to technical and academic success, and I've successfully coached 5 individuals to excel in their software engineering careers (including Ivy League students and graduate students) and make 6+ figures. I've reviewed hundreds of resumes and know the key to building your professional branding. Whether you're looking to break into the tech industry or advance your current skills, I'm here to help you navigate the path to success.
