Software Engineering Coaches, Events, and Resources

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 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've managed and lead software engineers at every level, from new grads to principal engineers to engineering managers across Goldman Sachs, Disney and startups. I built an engineering org from 0 to 90+ and established the promotion criteria, technical ladders, and performance frameworks my teams operate on. I work with software engineers who want to get promoted to senior or staff, make the jump into management, or navigate a job search strategically. I know what hiring managers actually care about because I am one. If you want honest, specific feedback from someone who reviews engineering talent for a living, I can help.
