About

With over a decade of experience leading global AI and engineering teams, including a $1.1B transformation at Coca-Cola, I know exactly what top-tier hiring managers look for in a candidate. I’ve reviewed thousands of resumes and conducted hundreds of interviews for senior leadership and staff engineering roles. As a mentor, I help you move beyond "input" and "activity" to communicate the high-level business impact that lands offers. I specialize in behavioral storytelling, system design for global scale, and the transition from "Coder" to "Technical Leader.
