About

I help professionals confidently break into tech, pivot careers, and navigate challenging workplace conversations. Leveraging my own unconventional career journey—from marketing and logistics to AI engineering at LinkedIn—I guide others through the complexity of career transitions with clarity, strategy, and deep personal support.
What I Do:

1:1 Coaching: Personalized sessions focused on career clarity, job search strategies, technical interview prep, and mindset support during high-stress transitions.

Group Coaching: Cohort-based programs for peer support, accountability, and structured learning.

Workshops:

Resume and LinkedIn profile optimization

Effective networking and referral strategies

Navigating tech interviews and job descriptions

Job search systems and application pipelines

Signature Mentorship Approach:

Deep dive into your ideal career outcome and build a weekly roadmap tailored to your unique situation.

Analyze constraints, strengths, and market dynamics to create a custom strategy.

Craft compelling resumes, standout LinkedIn profiles, and personalized outreach messages.

Decode job descriptions and interview expectations to help you present yourself with confidence.

Offer end-to-end support—from application to offer negotiation—with a strong focus on emotional resilience and sustainable motivation.

Results:

Helped 30+ mentees land jobs in tech and beyond.

Coached clients through difficult workplace conversations, promotions, and pivots into AI, engineering, and product roles.

Taught actionable strategies for networking, building referral pipelines, and approaching hiring with intention—not desperation.

My approach is deeply personal: your career doesn't exist in a vacuum, and neither should your coaching.

I was transitioning into my first tech role as a Frontend Engineer, and with my non-traditional background, I knew I needed help crafting a compelling SWE resume and positioning myself as a strong candidate. Thanks to Alex's mentoring, I was able to land my first job offer. His guidance and expertise in resume writing, networking, LinkedIn optimization, and navigating the interview process for software engineering roles were exactly what I needed to secure my first job in tech. I highly recommend Alex as a mentor. Anyone looking to enhance their resume, refine their interview skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the job search process will greatly benefit from his mentorship.
