For Individual Contributors

You’re good at what you do, but you want to be better. Maybe you’re aiming for a promotion. Maybe you want to expand your impact beyond your immediate team. Maybe you’re trying to figure out how AI changes your career trajectory.

I help engineers at all levels develop the skills, visibility, and systems that accelerate career growth.

Technical Growth

Deeper expertise in the areas that matter most for your career. Whether you’re aiming to become a senior engineer, staff engineer, or architect, you’ll develop the technical judgment that distinguishes leaders from practitioners.

Expanded Impact

The ability to influence outcomes beyond your own code. You’ll learn how to shape technical decisions, mentor others, and drive improvements that multiply your contribution.

Career Clarity

A clear understanding of what’s expected at the next level and a concrete plan to get there. You’ll know what skills to develop, what experiences to seek, and how to demonstrate your readiness.

Sustainable Habits

Productivity systems and work habits that compound over time. You’ll manage your energy, focus, and learning in ways that prevent burnout and accelerate growth.

Managed Engineers at Every Level

I’ve hired, developed, and promoted engineers from new graduates to senior architects to directors. I’ve written leveling guides, conducted performance reviews, and advocated for promotions. I know what organizations look for—and how to demonstrate it.

Technical Depth

I’ve written code at every level of the stack—from kernel security features at SGI to consumer web applications to data pipelines processing a billion data points daily. I can help you develop genuine technical expertise, not just surface-level familiarity.

Career Navigation

I’ve helped engineers transition to management and back to IC roles. I’ve coached people through reorganizations, acquisitions, and career pivots. I understand that career paths aren’t always linear.

Promotion Roadblock

You’ve been at your level for a while. You’re doing good work, but you’re not advancing. You need help understanding the gap and building a plan to close it.

Visibility Problem

Your contributions aren’t recognized the way they should be. Others with less impact seem to get more credit. You need to learn how to communicate your value without feeling like you’re bragging.

AI Anxiety

You’re worried about how AI will change your job. You want to stay relevant and valuable, but you’re not sure where to focus your learning. You need a strategy for adapting to the changing landscape.

Management Curiosity

You’re considering moving into management, but you’re not sure if it’s right for you. You want to understand what the job really involves before making the leap.

I’ve guided engineers through all of these challenges. Let’s talk about where you want to go.
