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.

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.
