About

Director of Engineering @ Microsoft | Org Health Advocate | Engineering Leadership Coach

I help tech professionals grow into impactful, confident leaders — without burning out.

I’m a Director of Engineering at Microsoft, leading a multidisciplinary hardware team. I’ve spent the past 15+ years navigating complex technical challenges, building high-performing teams, and mentoring engineers and managers across different cultures and career stages.

Whether you're preparing for your first management role, struggling with team alignment, or navigating the politics of leadership at a big tech company — I’ve been there.

I also work with international professionals trying to find their voice and build influence in the U.S. tech environment.

Let's talk if you’re looking for clarity, confidence, and a strategy to grow without losing yourself.

What happens when you start

You tell Carlos your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Carlos reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
