Why Code to Lead?
Whether you're growing as an IC or stepping into leadership, I've navigated both paths and know the challenges you're facing.
Been There, Done That
From developer to senior IC and tech lead, then into engineering management. I've walked both the technical excellence and leadership paths.
Scale Both Systems & Careers
Built high-performance systems (4,000 req/min), grew as Staff+ engineer, and led teams of 34. Both IC and leadership experience at scale.
Practical, Not Theory
No fluff. Real strategies for architecture decisions, technical influence, career advancement—AND 1:1s, roadmaps, and leadership transitions.
Two Paths, One Goal: Career Excellence
Not everyone wants to be a manager. Choose the path that aligns with your strengths and goals.
