Hands-on support
With 8+ years of engineering and leadership experience at Twilio, AWS, and Amazon Kindle, I have led teams building everything from secure telemetry systems to large-scale consumer products used by hundreds of millions. I have hired and developed high-performing teams, scaled them through hypergrowth, and led through ambiguity and strategic pivots - all grounded in psychological safety, trust, and purpose.
As a mentor, I help engineers and managers grow with clarity and confidence, whether you are:
- Preparing for interviews (technical, behavioral, or management)
- Planning your next career move or seeking resume feedback
- Stepping into your first leadership role
- Developing as a people manager
- Navigating tough challenges or transitions
I have coached dozens of engineers and leaders, conducted 100+ interviews, and served as a bar raiser, hiring manager, and panelist. I am here to help you grow, not just up a ladder, but forward on your unique journey.
If you're exploring your next step, want support through change, or just need someone who’s been there, I’d love to help.
