About

I've spent 20+ years building production-grade systems across Meta, Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic, Disney, and high-growth startups. I've built high-performing teams and interviewed hundreds of candidates. I coach senior engineers, managers, creatives, and PMs to translate their experience into a clear story you can deliver under pressure.

Expect practical, no-fluff prep: mock interviews, strategy, coding + system design, and resume rewrites that surface your impact so you can thrive.

Career coaching Career coaching

As a founder and senior engineering leader who has operated across startups and large tech organizations, I've helped engineers and technical leaders think clearly about inflection points in their careers. I understand what different environments actually demand-and how to evaluate tradeoffs between scope, compensation, risk, growth, and long-term leverage.

Salary negotiation Salary negotiation

Over my career as an engineering leader, I've negotiated and evaluated compensation packages across Big Tech and high-growth startups — balancing base, bonus, sign-on, equity, refreshers, and non-cash levers like level, scope, and location. I've also coached peers and candidates through offer strategy so they can negotiate confidently, avoid...

I needed general informations about AI to prepare for a system design interview. Ryan is very know knowledgeable, gives great advice, and he really delivered. We spent one hour talking about it, and I now feel a lot more confident in such a short time. Will schedule another session
