About

I care about making engineering leadership better... more thoughtful, more human, and more effective. Over the last 15+ years, I’ve worked across start-ups, scale-ups, and big tech. I’ve been hands-on as an IC, built teams as an engineering manager, and helped others grow into Staff, Tech Lead, and EM roles. I’m currently an Engineering Manager at Yelp. Most people in tech step into leadership or management with very little training. They’re expected to manage people, run projects, influence up, and drive strategy, often all at once. I’ve been through that, and I’m building https://www.engleadexpert.io to help others do it well and build our industry together. I’m creating honest, practical content for people who want to lead well, not just think they are getting promoted. I share everything I’ve learned (and continue to learn) about the realities of leading in tech: the decisions, the mistakes, the messy bits. I’m building this in public, and if any of it helps you lead better... I’m doing my job.
