About

2020-Present: Google, Software Engineer, Sydney 2017-20: Canva, Backend Software Engineer, Sydney

As a software engineer with over 10 years of experience, including roles at Google and Canva, I've developed a passion for mentoring other engineers. My coaching focuses on interview preparation and career development. Having conducted more than 50 technical interviews at top tech companies, I offer unique insights into what these organizations value in candidates. While technical skills are crucial, I emphasize the importance of soft skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. My leadership coaching helps engineers influence without authority, manage projects effectively, and inspire team members. I guide mentees in mapping out career paths, setting achievable goals, and building their personal brand within the tech community. I provide strategies for confident salary negotiation and craft resumes that showcase both technical prowess and soft skills. My hands-on, personalized approach includes actionable feedback, mock interviews, and real-world scenarios to prepare mentees for the challenges in their software engineering careers.
