About

Hi, I'm Miller. I spent two decades at Microsoft leading multidisciplinary engineering organizations - from GPU performance and compilers to cloud migrations and hardware design. It was mostly in the gaming space, and helping other engineering customers adopt and migrate to the cloud.

Having interviewed thousands of candidates, hired nearly as many, and awarded even more promotions, I've spent years coaching folks on what it takes to break through the "ceiling" at top-tier tech companies. I've helped individual contributors navigating their first promotions and Manager of Managers dealing with organizational complexity and I'm here to help you scale your impact without burning out.

WHY I'M YOUR MENTOR:
• EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE: I've served as a technical advisor to CTOs and guided CEOs through high-stakes technical decisions.
• ENGINEERING DEPTH: Deep expertise in the gaming industry, Azure cloud adoption, and high-performance systems.
• LEADERSHIP LIFECYCLE: I specialize in the transition from "doing" to "leading," focusing on organizational health and sustainable execution.

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON TOGETHER:
• THE DIRECTOR TRACK: Navigating the politics and strategy of upper management.
• HIGH-STAKES HIRING: Building a hiring machine and refining your interviewing skills.
• CLARITY & CONFIDENCE Moving from ambiguity to decisive leadership.
• SUSTAINABLE EXECUTION: Building systems that allow your team to perform without you needing to be in every meeting.

A BIT ABOUT ME:
I'm a published author of several game dev books and a few fiction novels. When I'm not coaching, you'll find me running, gaming, or trying to make the most of my pool here in Vegas.
