I mentor two kinds of people: engineers who want a clear path to senior or staff and are not sure what to work on next, and new or aspiring engineering managers who want to make the jump without learning every lesson the hard way.
I am a Senior Engineering Manager at Royal Caribbean Group, where I lead multiple teams building large-scale, distributed systems. My background is hands-on: Java and Kotlin with Spring Boot, TypeScript with React and Next.js, and Kubernetes, AWS, and observability tooling underneath. I also use AI-assisted engineering daily in a large enterprise and coach engineers and teams on workflows that actually stick.
Most of my time now goes to the things that actually move teams forward: growing engineers into seniors and leads, running effective 1:1s and performance reviews, hiring, and making architecture decisions that hold up under real production load.
If that sounds like you, book an intro call and we will map out where you are and where you want to be.
You tell Kevin your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.
You meet within days. Kevin 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.
