I’m an Engineering Manager III at Amazon, with a background in software engineering and technical leadership. I’ve grown from software engineer into management, and I’ve seen firsthand the challenges that come with growing your career, becoming a technical leader, and eventually deciding whether management is the right path for you.
I can help you navigate career progression. Whether you’re just starting out as a software engineer, working toward Senior, becoming a stronger Tech Lead, increasing your visibility and influence, preparing for Amazon and Big Tech interviews, or considering a move into engineering management.
My approach is pragmatic and direct. I believe you need to own your career, manage up, understand what your manager and organization actually value, and focus your effort where it creates the most impact.
As you become more senior, I also believe the goal shifts from doing more yourself to multiplying your impact through others. Setting vision and direction and enabling other engineers to thrive
I’ve conducted 70+ interviews at Amazon and have experience coaching and developing engineers throughout their careers. I enjoy mentoring because I’ve seen how a few targeted changes can unlock someone’s potential and completely change their trajectory.
