💚 Helping Developers & Leaders Balance Wellbeing and Success 🚀 | Software Developer | Leader | Mindset Coach | Personal Trainer | Mental Health First Aider

I’m a Software Engineering Manager and coach with 24+ years of experience building and leading high-performing software engineering teams. My unique focus blends engineering leadership with a deep commitment to mindset, wellbeing, and sustainable performance.I’ve coached software engineers and leaders on leadership, mindset, and wellbeing and have spoken and delivered workshops at international conferences on these themes. My aim is to shape engineering culture at scale and raise the bar for how we support our teams to grow and thrive.Whether leading teams, mentoring individuals, or building automation tools and scalable systems, I believe that small, intentional habits—at both the individual and team levels—compound into extraordinary impact.

Mindset Coach
I work with leaders, founders, and experienced professionals who operate in complexity and are ready for a deeper shift/transformation in perspective, identity, and decision-making.

Whom I work with
People who are building, leading, scaling, or transitioning — and want their next chapter to be grounded in clarity, responsibility, and internal coherence (not just tactics).

My edge/background
Former Staff Software Engineer (10+ years). I bring systems thinking, rigor, and calm work with uncertainty into transformational coaching. I’m building a long-term path toward MCC-level mastery and developing my own methodology.

Focus Areas
- Mindset transformation & mental models
- Leadership clarity & decision-making under complexity
- Identity shifts, transitions, and direction
- Founders/tech leaders: inner architecture for sustainable impact

I’m open to collaborations, partnerships, speaking, workshops, and thoughtful networking — especially where leadership, culture, and meaningful change are central.
