About me

Tired of hearing “you’re just not ready yet”? I help Senior Software Engineers get promoted to Engineering Managers.

I’ve spent 20+ years in the software industry, working with companies large and small, including 5 years as an Engineering Manager mentoring engineers at every level, from entry-level to Staff.

I’ve sat on the other side of the promotion decision, so I know exactly what committees are actually looking for, and it’s rarely what candidates think it is. I help you find exactly what those are, close the gap, and make the promotion the obvious next step.

I’d love to hear about your situation. Send me a DM and let’s talk about what’s standing between you and your next promotion.

Here is my professional summary:

• 5+ years of engineering management, leading teams of 8-24 across multiple squads
• Mentored 20+ engineers
• 10 promotions across various career levels
• 20+ years of professional software engineering
