About

I am a Principal Engineer with a passion for opening doors for others and helping people push their potential, both technically and from a leadership perspective. My experience spans multiple decades of software engineering leadership, including a bar raiser with over 300 interviews at Amazon. I provide expert mentorship and coaching for engineers at all stages of their careers -- whether that's honing system design skills, scaling leadership across organizations, or getting hired/promoted.
