about
I’m an engineering leader with 10+ years in the tech industry, focused on helping startups build high-performing, sustainable teams. I care deeply about coaching introverted engineers, creating calm, focused work environments, and using digital minimalism & tools for thought as a path to clarity and creativity.
Through my consultancy, Cultivate, I partner with early-stage startups to lead and grow their engineering teams. I also provide 1-1 coaching for engineers and leaders, looking to get the most out of their careers.
