I'm an engineering leader who has spent years running teams, navigating messy environments, and helping people grow into confident and effective leaders. As an engineering manager, I’ve led both managers and individual contributors across a range of teams, from marketing technology to large-scale SaaS platforms. Along the way, I’ve encountered a wide variety of challenging situations and leadership problems.
I can share practical tools and frameworks to help bring clarity, momentum, and calm to difficult situations.
I'm currently leading AI transformation and adoption in my current role, including both the technical and social challenges that come along with it. Keeping teams motivated these days can be hard and the manager role is more critical than ever.
My coaching style is direct, practical, and no-BS.
I'm especially passionate about mentoring neurodivergent professionals. As someone with ADHD, I understand how motivation and confidence can swing, and I help people create systems that fit how they naturally work.
If you need help with:
- Becoming a stronger engineering manager or tech lead
- Leading teams through AI-driven change
- Communicating your value and building confidence
- Team structure, rituals, and process
- Getting off-track projects back on course
Reach out and let's see 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.
