Your mentor
I have 25+ years of experience as an individual contributor, manager, and director in software engineering. I'm passionate about providing guidance to others through active listening, asking pertinent questions, and helping people draw their own conclusions. I am open to mentoring people at all levels of their tech careers, from entry level IC to fellow Directors of Engineering. I offer a short introductory call for free to ensure there's a mutual fit.
From me, you can expect guidance and advice in the form of pragmatism, perspective taking, and finding ways to convert your thought processes and concerns into actionable steps.
