About

I help senior software engineers (6+ years) who feel stuck - whether that’s not getting interview calls, preparing for Staff / Principal roles, or transitioning into Engineering Management.
My approach is structured, outcome-driven, and grounded in real-world experience building and scaling software systems at global companies like Apple. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with engineers navigating senior IC and leadership paths, and I’ve seen where most career stalls actually come from - often it’s positioning and clarity, not capability.

*What working with me looks like*
This is not generic mentorship or open-ended coaching.
I work best with experienced engineers who want:
* Clear diagnosis of what’s holding them back
* Honest feedback on readiness for Senior / Staff / Engineering Manager roles
* Stronger career positioning and narrative
* A concrete, time-bound action plan

*What I focus on*
Typical areas I help with:
* Senior engineer career stalls (“I’m good, but career progress is stagnant”)
* Resume & LinkedIn positioning for senior roles
* Staff / Principal vs Engineering Management decision clarity
* Interview strategy at senior levels (not DSA drills)
* Early engineering leadership transitions

*What I don’t do*
I don’t offer:
* DSA-only interview prep
* Freshers or early-career mentoring
* Unlimited ongoing coaching without clear outcomes

If you’re looking for clarity, direction, and structured guidance - we’ll work well together.

I bring 20+ years of software engineering experience across IC and leadership roles, and I value thoughtful, honest conversations over hype or shortcuts.
If this resonates, you can explore the available plans and sessions to see what feels like a good fit.
