I’m a Senior Engineer with 11 years in tech ;currently working in Amsterdam in an international finance firm, previously at Netflix. But honestly? The thing people have always come to me for isn’t code. Over the years, colleagues and friends started showing up at my desk, and later my DMs with three kinds of problems: “I have an interview coming up. Can we practice?” “I need to present to leadership. I’m terrified.” “I don’t know how to network. It feels fake.” I moved to Europe with no local network and plenty of self-doubt. I figured it out the hard way. And along the way I helped others figure it out too, not because I had all the answers, but because I’d asked the same questions not long before them.
I can genuinely help you with: Interview preparation : technical and behavioral, honest feedback, no sugarcoating
Public speaking and presentations
Networking authentically : building real relationships without feeling fake
Communication in the workplace: meetings, 1:1s, stakeholder conversations
Low-code tools and APIs
Building a tech career in Europe as an international engineer
I’m going to have an honest conversation about where you are and what’s actually in the way.
