I have been a software engineer for 13 years. In this time I worked at 4 different companies of all sizes, from gargantuan Google to tiny Igneous Systems, at which I was employee number 15. I worked on 7 different products, some greenfield and some with billions of users. I have been an individual contributor cranking out code, a tech lead setting direction for a group of engineers, and a manager mentoring my reports through promotions.
These jobs have taken me to three cities in two countries, where I have met countless bright, motivated people at different life stages, and who took a variety of paths. Regardless of background, I found that many deep conversations started with the question “what’s next?” Some wanted to bag their first offer at a FAANG company. Some were networking for a cofounder. Some were looking to become financially independent and retire early. I loved these conversations. Serving as a sounding board, friend, and mentor felt fulfilling in a completely different way from delivering features.
I believe that people are most happy and effective when they feel free to pursue the work that makes them curious. I also believe that finding out what makes them curious is a lengthy process of trial and error. The biggest career decisions are often made in a tangle of financial constraints, family obligations, and unexamined convictions about what makes a job “good.”
I do not promise to have answers for you, but I do promise that I care deeply about your success, however you define it, and that I have the experience to give you meaningful insight into your path.

Mark has been an incredible mentor. He helped me with career guidance, detailed coding feedback, and realistic mock interviews (including behavioral ones). He’s a clear and supportive communicator who always explained concepts in a way that made sense. Thanks to Mark, I was able to fine-tune my overall skills and feel much more confident in my career direction and interview performance.

I didn’t know what it really took to break into the tech world, but Mark broke everything down clearly and put me on the right path. He’s kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping others succeed. It’s incredibly motivating to hear guidance from someone who’s already where I hope to be in my career.
