Engineering Leader • AI Strategist • Mentor • Coach
I help engineering leaders and teams unlock the next level of productivity through AI-augmented workflows, operational excellence, and hands-on coaching.
I help engineers and technology leaders at every level — from individual contributors and first-time managers to Directors, Senior Directors, and VPs — grow into their next role and lead with greater scope and influence. Drawing on 20+ years building and leading global engineering organizations, from early-stage startups like Crunchyroll to industry giants like Yahoo and Adobe, I coach people through the real challenges of stepping up: developing executive presence, leading through ambiguity, influencing stakeholders, building strong teams, and translating technology strategy into measurable business outcomes.
As a woman who has built and led engineering organizations at scale, I'm especially passionate about helping women in tech step into leadership at every level — building the visibility and sponsorship that don't always come automatically, and claiming a seat at the table rather than waiting to be invited to it.
My coaching draws on direct experience across AI transformation, engineering strategy, platform modernization, operational excellence, organizational change, and talent development — practical, direct coaching for engineers and leaders at every stage of their career, from your first engineering role to the executive suite.

Autonomous Workflows at Enterprise Scale
Designed and deployed autonomous AI agent systems on minimal container infrastructure — eliminating hundreds of hours of developer toil per week across large engineering teams.
Engineering Excellence at Scale
Built comprehensive developer experience infrastructure including CI/CD optimization, build caching, metrics dashboards, and tooling that reduced cycle times across the org.
Breaking Things to Make Them Stronger
Built chaos engineering programs and fault injection frameworks that proactively uncovered weaknesses in production systems — reducing incidents and hardening reliability at scale.
Strategy & Framework
Developed the strategic framework for AI Pods — small teams using AI tools to deliver at 2-3x their size. Includes governance, safety, ROI models, and adoption playbooks.
Safety & Quality at Scale
Designed memory safety gates, visual regression pipelines, and performance benchmark systems for large-scale C++ codebases — making AI-assisted development viable for legacy systems.
Whether you need a mentor, a coach, or a hands-on consultant — I bring 20+ years of real-world engineering leadership experience to help you and your team reach the next level.
Personalized guidance for engineers and engineering managers looking to level up — whether you're aiming for staff engineer, your first management role, or navigating a career transition.
For engineering leaders who want to build high-performing teams, drive organizational change, and multiply their impact through others.
Help your team adopt AI coding tools, design autonomous agent workflows, and build the governance frameworks that make AI-augmented engineering safe and effective.
Audit and optimize your CI/CD pipelines, build systems, developer experience, and engineering metrics to eliminate toil and accelerate your team.
We start with a no-cost 30-minute call. I'll take the time to understand where you are, where you want to go, and what's been getting in the way — whether that's stepping into your first leadership role, navigating a transition to Director or VP, or building the visibility to get there. I'll offer initial guidance on the spot, and we'll figure out together if a deeper coaching engagement makes sense.
For those ready to commit to real, lasting change — not just another quick fix. Based on what comes out of your discovery call, I'll build a coaching program tailored to where you are and where you're headed. It's an investment that saves you the months or years of trial and error it takes to figure this out alone.
The less custom orchestration you build, the more you benefit as models improve. Here's the architectural philosophy that's changing how teams build AI systems.
How small teams using AI tools can outperform teams twice their size — and the organizational changes required to make it work.
The hardest part of becoming a leader isn't the technical skills — it's learning to multiply your impact through others. Here's what I wish I knew earlier.
Whether you're looking for a mentor, a leadership coach, or a consultant to help your team adopt AI — I'd love to hear from you.
