I've spent eight years growing engineers into leaders — first as a team lead running small teams across two startups, then as a director building and scaling an engineering organization from the ground up for the last four and a half years. Before management, I spent seven years as an engineer myself, so I know both sides of that transition intimately.
Across two startups and many companies, I've seen it all: rapid growth, reorgs, shifting priorities, resource constraints, and the kind of corporate chaos that either breaks people or forges them. I've learned how to stay focused, resilient, and effective through all of it — and I enjoy teaching others to do the same.
I can help you if you're:
— A senior engineer wondering whether management is for you (and what you'd be giving up)
— An IC who wants to grow into a strong, confident engineering leader
— Preparing for engineering manager interviews and need someone to pressure-test your stories
— Looking for an honest CV or LinkedIn review from someone who's been on the hiring side
— A Ukrainian tech professional navigating relocation to the EU and building a career in a new market
— Stuck in corporate chaos and need someone who's thrived in it to think alongside you
I don't do motivational speeches. I ask hard questions, share what I've learned (including my mistakes), and help you build your own framework — not copy mine.
