Software Engineering Coaches, Events, and Resources

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.

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.

With over three decades of experience in the tech industry, including leadership roles at Google and Pandora, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching practice. As a former Director of Engineering and Senior Engineering Manager, I've led teams through transformative projects, from automating CI/CD pipelines to enhancing diversity and inclusion initiatives. Now, as a Career & Leadership Coach, I specialize in helping software engineers and leaders unlock their potential, navigate career transitions, and achieve work-life balance.
