About

Hi, I'm Edric! 👋 I went from electrical engineer to tech lead, building systems that millions of people use. Over 10+ years across startups and big companies, I've learned that the hardest problems are rarely just technical.

These days I split my time between two things: helping engineers break into senior roles, and helping businesses get real value from AI. Whether that's building AI into your product, or figuring out how to use AI to improve the way your team works today.

🔥 How I Can Help:

📚 Technical Growth: We'll figure out which skills actually matter for your next level. No random learning - just focused growth that builds on what you already know.

🏗️ System Design: I'll show you how to think like an architect. Real insights from building large-scale systems, not theory.

👥 Leadership Skills: Being great at code isn't enough. I'll help you get better at communication and teamwork - the stuff that actually sets senior engineers apart.

📈 Interview Prep: System design, coding challenges, behavioral questions. All the senior-level stuff, with a clear plan.

💡 AI Consultancy: Building AI into your product, improving team workflows with AI, or figuring out where to start. I'll help you cut through the hype and focus on what actually works for your situation.

✅ Why Connect With Me:
- 10+ years across startups and big companies
- Regular sessions with real feedback
- I actually care about your success

When we work together, you get honest advice and practical strategies for your specific situation. No generic tips.

👉 Ready to level up or get more out of AI? Let's connect!

During my career I had several coachs, and Edric is without a doubt one of the best. We worked together for almost a year, he is very good at understanding my need and expectation and he managed to exceed expectation every time. He helped me to transition from a QA engineer position to software engineer position. We did several code review and technical interview preparation/simulation, which were both very insightful with concrete feedbacks and improvement strategy. I like the way Edric tracks my goals&progress, and he regularly ask for session feedback on how to improve the sessions, which helps a lot. His punctuality and tips sharing make him a very reliable coach. I will be happy to contact him again if I need more coaching. Thanks for your help.

Edric has been an invaluable mentor throughout my journey as a software engineer. His deep technical expertise, combined with his ability to clearly articulate complex concepts, has helped me overcome numerous technical challenges. Edric excels at breaking down problems into manageable steps, which has been instrumental in clearing my technical roadblocks. He is meticulous in his approach, crafting personalized, concrete plans that align with your goals. When I wanted to focus on backend engineering, he structured learning projects that helped me grasp core concepts. Later, when I was preparing for a job change, Edric guided me through targeted interview preparation. Thanks to his mentorship, I successfully reached my milestone of landing a role at Ant Group International within a year. Highly recommend!
