Hi, I'm Alina, a seasoned Engineering Manager and Backend Engineer with over 16 years of experience in development and 6+ years in management. Currently, I lead the Platform Engineering @ Uber, where I help build scalable systems and foster high-performing teams.
I specialize in engineering management, software engineering, and leadership, with a deep commitment to nurturing talent and driving impactful career growth. I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate career obstacles, discover their potential, and achieve their professional goals.
I’m also a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in tech. As an Equals Ambassador and a speaker at Women in Tech conferences, I actively contribute to creating an equitable and inclusive environment for all.
I provide a Holistic Career and Life Coaching which includes following key areas:
1. Career growth and development
- Identify career goals and building clear, actionable plans to achieve them.
- Prepare for role transitions, promotions, or entering new fields.
2. Overcome psychological barriers
- Address imposter syndrome, fear of failure, or self-doubt.
- Manage workplace stress, anxiety, or burnout.
- Cultivate emotional resilience and self-awareness for professional success.
3. Work-life balance
- Design a balance that aligns with personal values and professional goals.
- Set boundaries to prevent burnout and promote sustainability.
- Time management and prioritization strategies.
4. Navigate life transitions
- Support individuals through major career and life changes, e.g. return to work after a break or switching industries.
5. Empower underrepresented groups
- Provide specialized support for women in tech
Whether you're exploring a career change, seeking guidance on soft skills, or looking to level up in engineering leadership, I’m here to support you. Let’s work together to shape your path forward.
