SDE / Scrum Master / Coach at Amazon

Let me know if your schedule doesn't match the listed time

Hi, I'm CHIAO / George. I'm a software engineer/scrum master passionate about improving processes/initiating conversations. I had the experience of transferring from a non-tech role into PM and then SDE (and an SM role now). I enjoy jogging, and I also enjoy talking with people and asking some questions to solidify our career paths.

What we could work on... Dive deep and reflect on your recent goals/experiences. (Technical: How to be better in Java / Career: How to become a (better) software engineer or Scrum Master) Define and modify your job-seeking journey (What and how should I set my goals / elaborate my CV / improve my interview/build mindset response to the fact Work on imposter syndrome. For "I'm not confident of becoming a software engineer". I may dive deep about how to verify that you're not fitting the role)

Here's how I usually proceed with the mentoring session... Introduction / Check-In Define the focus question (topic) for us today Ask about the: (1) Where are you (2) Where do you want to go (3) What's the blocker / better path/milestones to the goal Wrap-up

Feel free to connect on my LinkedIn, maybe it will help expand your network and help recruiters find you.
