I will help you along your path to a new career. If you know what your new career direction is, I can help you identify and plan your next steps and milestones, keep momentum, stay accountable, and find creative ways to get unstuck.

I can help you grow in your tech career or make the changes you need to be satisfied and fulfilled in your career.

The tech industry is my home, and engineers are my people. Helping people navigate careers in technology is my calling.

As someone with ADHD myself, I understand the ways that executive function issues, time blindness, and other ADHD challenges can make some things much harder. The common career advice for getting things done often doesn't work well for us. Things that seem simple to others can seem like an unscalable wall.

I have the understanding and patience to help you find the strategies that work for you right now. Together, we will explore and experiment to help you succeed and get out of your own way.

Are you getting interviews, even multiple rounds, but still being rejected? If so, that usually means your resume is good. It also usually means you’re meeting the technical bar in coding interviews and coding assessments. That leaves behavioral interviews. Did you know that for mid-level and higher, behavioral interviews are at least as important as technical interviews? I can help you learn to tell your career growth story, match your history and experience to the things managers look for, and showcase your leadership, influence, collaboration, and communication skills.

If you have recently found yourself in a new management role, you’re likely discovering that being really good as an individual contributor didn’t prepare you to manage people and lead. I can help you find and develop your personal leadership style, avoid the pitfalls of new managers, and make the transition from delivering value yourself to delivering through others.

Work isn’t everything! Would you like help achieving your personal goals or making changes in your life? We can work together to be build a plan that is intentional, achievable, and effective. We’ll use your strengths to help you make the changes you want and need.

I am partnering with excellent software engineers to provide direct assessment and guidance to help you prepare for those notorious coding interviews. Let me know if you’re interested in being one of the first to try out this new partnered offering.

Do you have a dream of work that gives you flexibility, control, satisfaction, challenge, and enough income all at once? Have you been looking for a job that doesn’t seem to exist? A “Portfolio Career” might be what you’ve been looking for. In simple terms, it means doing multiple things, often being self-employed either partially or completely, and getting different things you want and need from different parts of your work.

For example, you could offer multiple kinds of freelancing or contract work, some that are more lucrative and some that are more fun, and maybe some that are both. Maybe you can also work part-time for a company to keep skills fresh or to bring in a baseline income. Maybe this is a way to grow a business idea without having to financially rely on it all at once.

I can work with you to help you find that special combination of things that combines to give you what one single job can’t offer on its own. Be prepared to experiment and try new things! This can be a long journey, but the rewards can be priceless!

Learn to build software at your own pace with the help of experienced software developer Hao Nguyen to get you unstuck, clarify the tricky bits, and provide insight as you learn to code and build a project app or system. If your learning style is to “learn by doing” then this could be a great fit! This isn’t a “boot camp” or certification program, though this could prepare you for success in one of those programs. Our focus in on steering you though gaining the skills to do the work, and to help you achieve an end result of creating something new and useful. If you already have a project idea, but don’t know where to start, this is for you!

Here is how Hao describes this in his own words: “Throughout my years of learning and helping people get into CS, I found that one of the most essential skills is learning how to learn. As I have an interest in anything, I find myself being able to navigate the new area, quickly gather resources, etc. Same goes for any new project that I am inspired to build. I would like to offer this same experience to anyone who wants to find a better way to learn and improve their skill in CS.”
