👋 You’re a brilliant engineer.
You’ve mastered the code, earned respect, and now you’ve been promoted.

Suddenly, the job isn’t about solving technical problems.
It’s about leading humans.

That’s where many engineers struggle.

Meetings go quiet.
Decisions bottleneck.
Delegation feels awkward.
Imposter syndrome creeps in.

What made you successful - technical mastery - suddenly isn’t enough.

If you’re a CEO or CTO, you’ve seen this story play out:
Your rockstar IC gets promoted... and flounders.
You risk losing both a great engineer and your leadership pipeline.

👉 That’s why I created coded2lead — coaching for engineers making the IC → leader leap.

With 20+ years scaling teams and shipping software, I’ve lived both sides.

Today I help engineers:

•  Build trust
•  Read the room
•  Run meetings people actually speak in
•  Stop accidentally becoming bottlenecks

In other words:
I help engineers become trusted leaders.

✨ My approach blends systems thinking with emotional intelligence.
Leadership isn’t just what you say — it’s what you train every day.

If you or your engineers are navigating this transition, let’s talk.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.

I work at the intersection of UX design and front-end foundations, with a strong focus on clarity and accessibility. I care about creating digital experiences that feel calm, intuitive, and usable, experiences that respect people’s attention, abilities, and emotional bandwidth.

I’ve seen that people don’t struggle with technology because it’s “too advanced,” but because it often feels confusing, cluttered, or overwhelming. When something is hard to use or understand, it’s rarely the user’s fault.

My focus is on designing experiences that are easy to move through, where content is clear, interactions are inclusive, and nothing feels demanding.

Before moving into tech, I ran a small children’s clothing business and worked closely with individuals and families during challenging life transitions. That work shaped how I think about design today. I don’t start with features or trends. I start with the person on the other side of the screen: how they think and what helps them feel guided rather than lost.

Clarity and accessibility are things I first had to build in my own life. That experience naturally carries into my work, where I design with care, restraint, and attention to what truly matters.

Alongside my work and studies, I write on Substack, <tech with heart />, where I reflect on the human side of technology — the questions, patterns, and moments that often go unnoticed. It’s a space for thoughtful observation rather than quick conclusions.

In practice, my work includes:

- simplifying flows so each step feels clear and intentional

- designing layouts with accessibility in mind (readability, contrast, hierarchy)

- writing microcopy that sounds human, not mechanical

- implementing front-end code that supports inclusive, smooth experiences

If you value thoughtful design, accessibility, and careful observation, I’m always open to connecting, whether to collaborate, exchange ideas, or simply have a meaningful conversation.
