As a former Microsoft engineer turned startup CTO, I’m passionate about helping young people capitalize on the most formative time in their lives. Whether it’s getting your first job, post-grad, at a top 5 tech company or working at a startup or co-founding a company, I’ve, as they say, “been there, done that.”

From how to stand out and get the job, to what you MUST do before you can even think about leaving that job, to breaking the news to your manager and making a clean exit. I can help you navigate the murky waters of chasing your dreams.
