Thomas Aistleitner — CEO

I manage engineering teams during the day. At night, I build my own products. I live on both sides - the engineer shipping code at 2 AM and the manager sitting in promo calibrations deciding who moves up. That's how I keep seeing the same pattern: Senior engineers doing Staff-level work. Not getting the title. Not getting the pay. Their fix is to code harder, ship more, work longer hours. When that doesn't work, they blame politics and get frustrated. The reality: If your manager can't easily make your case in the rooms you're not in, you don't get promoted. It's not personal - it's a lack of evidence, visibility, and narrative. I know this because I'm in those rooms. I see why names get crossed off. It's rarely about technical skill. I work 1-on-1 with senior engineers who are ready for the next step but can't figure out why it's not happening. No motivational speaking. We treat your career like a product launch. We will: - Audit your visibility and stakeholder trust - Build your "Brag Document" so it writes your manager's promo packet for them - Identify the Staff-level projects you need to own and the busywork to drop This is for you if: - You're a Senior Engineer or Lead who feels stuck despite high output - You want a partner who still ships code and sits in calibrations this week - not a coach who left the industry years ago - I work with a handful of engineers at a time.
