AI in Engineering

b.

Career Transitions

Moving from IC to lead, QA to quality engineering, or into a director track — mapping the skills that matter.

c.

Platform Reliability

Release management, incident response, and the DORA metrics that make reliability a measurable, fundable priority.

d.

Technical Leadership

Leading through influence, growing a team, and the difficult conversations that separate managers from leaders.

Common questions

Who is this for?

Engineers, SDETs, and tech leads — typically mid-career and up — who want a sounding board with two decades of enterprise engineering experience behind it.

Do you mentor people outside QA?

Yes. Much of the work is about engineering leadership, reliability, and AI adoption — relevant to any engineer, not just quality specialists.

How do sessions run?

Over video call. You send context ahead of time; we spend the session on your actual problem; you leave with written action items.

What if I need something different?

Reach out. For teams and organisations, agile engineering coaching may be the better fit.

Ready to level up?

Book a first session and bring the problem you're actually stuck on.
