Software Engineering Coaches, Events, and Resources

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.

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 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.

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.

Hi, I'm Lauren. I am a former senior software engineer at Google and current Stanford MBA. I'd love to help you grow your software engineering career! At Google I grew from a junior engineer to an engineering manager, touching a wide variety of systems. I led projects that spanned consumer and enterprise, scrappy prototyping to multi-year production scale projects, and from building the cloud to building on the cloud. At Waze, I led teams to launch innovative products like the Waze Parking and Gas Discount experiments, creating entirely new revenue streams that generated millions annually. I love coaching engineers through both technical and leadership growth, and have led several engineers on my team through successful promotions. I'd love to chat with you about how to grow your engineering career!

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!
