Startup Advisory Session with

I specialise in SaaS product optimization, focusing on user experience (UX), usability, workflow efficiency, security, scalability, feature refinement, team scaling and business scaling processes. As a startup advisor, I provide actionable, tactical feedback to eliminate friction, boost adoption, and drive retention so your product doesn’t just work, but delights and bring value to your clients.

Most engineers become managers and immediately feel out of their depth not because they're not smart, but because nobody taught them how to lead people, not just systems.
I've been there.

Now, as a Senior Engineering Leader with 20 years experience, I help EMs, CTOs, and senior engineers close that gap, before your next performance review.

Who I work with:

New and aspiring Engineering Managers who want to lead with confidence, not just survive 1:1s
Staff+ engineers deciding whether to go deep as an IC or move into leadership
Career pivoters looking to reframe their experience and land roles in high-growth companies

What you'll actually get:
Concrete next steps after every session. Whether that's a promotion plan, a difficult conversation framework, or a personal brand strategy you leave with something you can act on this week.

I also write Leadership as a Verb (newsletter.diamantinoalmeida.com), a newsletter on engineering culture read by 1,400+ engineers and leaders.
