About

WHAT I DO: I help software developers, engineering managers, data engineers and product managers in the tech industry escape career ruts and achieve their dream goals by providing ultra-customized, boutique and tailored career coaching. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: I bring real world experience from my leadership roles at Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle and startups. While other coaches work from theory, I know what works in practice. I know what works at every stage of the tech career, from the early stages of the job hunt to leveraging your current role to land your next big jump. WHAT OTHERS SAY: "I got a unanimous YES from my panel for a senior role... I wouldn't have gotten this far without your guide. It resonated!" "Your insights and practical suggestions have been incredibly helpful to me. I made a career move in November, and your guidance on resume writing gave me the clarity and confidence to take that step." "I went through mastering system design. And trust me I loved it. Very well written. Beautifully explained what exactly matters and how to turn technical expertise into customer obsession. Big Heartious thanks to you!" HOW IT WORKS: 1. We start with a 15-minute exploration call to discuss your needs, challenges and long-term objectives. 2. We establish concrete, actionable goals using pressure-tested frameworks. 3. I provide you with resources, exercises, and accountability measures. 4. We meet on a regular basis to evaluate your progress, celebrate wins and adjust along with life's little curveballs.

Meta

Engineering Manager

Apr 2022Jun 2023 · 1 yr 2 mos · Bellevue, Washington, United States

  • As a high-impact team leader, I created focus and direction for my team by setting new vision, team and cross-functional goals for Python, C# and Native debugging. My leadership led the team to exceed expectations by landing all projects, despite losing 1/3 of the team to layoffs. I published weekly wrap-up posts highlighting wins and learnings submitted by team members, fostering a healthy team environment.
  • I worked through ambiguity to set team direction and priorities, organized team timelines and processes, and built healthy relationships with key teams to land all goals, including stretch goals. I added production debugging to team scope, converging GDB workflows onto LLDB. Additionally, I have increased emphasis on quality and engineering excellence, and pushed the team to set ambitious targets, such as 80% breakpoint accuracy and 99% reliability for native debugging.
  • As a people manager, I turned around a culture of mistrust between individual contributors by authoring a team charter founded on Meta values, belonging, respect and authenticity, which led to high community scores in the October Pulse survey. I advocated for a stronger emphasis on better engineering, and constantly brainstormed ways to make it ingrained into the DNA of the team.
