Architect with 15 years at Microsoft and Apple, across embedded systems and Azure cloud. I've helped engineers ship at scale and grow into roles they didn't think were within reach yet.
My background spans the full stack — from device and embedded work where hardware constraints make every tradeoff real, to large-scale cloud architecture on Azure, where the challenges shift to distributed systems, reliability, and scale. That combination shapes how I think: hardware up, cloud down.
The engineers I work with are technically strong. What they're navigating is the transformation that comes with architecture: communicating across organizations, influencing teams and decisions without direct authority, and adapting how they think and talk about their work to match the level they're operating at. Those shifts don't happen automatically with a title change — they take deliberate practice.
I work best with senior engineers stepping into architecture roles, and junior engineers aiming for senior or staff. I don't come in with a fixed agenda. Sometimes you need a framework. Sometimes you need someone to think out loud with — and push back when it's useful. Either way, I'll meet you where you are.
If any of this resonates, reach out. Tell me where you are and where you're trying to get to, and we'll figure out if we're a good fit.
Mentees who work with a mentor for 3+ months reach their goals 2x faster than those going it alone. Long-term mentorship means fewer false starts, more focused sessions, and support that builds week after week.
