Software Engineering Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm Chanel, a former Senior Software Engineer at Meta, where I consistently achieved top performance ratings and led impactful projects across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. With a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Brown University, I have a strong foundation in both technical skills and community engagement. During my time at Meta, I spearheaded initiatives that improved app performance for billions of users and mentored junior engineers, helping them accelerate their onboarding and impact. I'm passionate about helping aspiring software engineers break into top tech companies by sharing insights from my own journey and providing guidance on technical interviews, system design, and career development. Let's connect and work together to achieve your career goals!

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 a decade of experience in software engineering, including a significant tenure at LinkedIn as a Staff Software Engineer, I bring a wealth of knowledge in designing and implementing cutting-edge web technologies. My journey from Web Developer to Co-Founder and CTO at Resonance Systems has equipped me with a deep understanding of both the technical and strategic aspects of software development. I specialize in enhancing user experiences and improving page performance, skills that I am eager to share with aspiring software engineers. Whether you're looking to refine your coding skills or navigate your career path in tech, I'm here to help. Let's connect and take your software engineering career to the next level!

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. 🐾

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.
