I transform Developers into Technical Leaders through a growth mindset | also an Engineering Manager at Monese / XYB

Have you tried a lot of courses, books, and "good" advice, but it didn’t work? Me too!
The world has changed, but we still repeat the same mantras.

I taught myself from being a car factory worker to being a head of engineering.

What I learned is that there are only two things that matter: Dream and Persistence. First is your guide, and second, it keeps you moving forward every day. Results come with time.

It took me 18 years of learning to get where I am now, and I share my knowledge so at least one person will cut their time to dream by half or more.

What I do:

- Engineering Leadership in FinTech space
- Finding lost motivation and joy of work for mid-career pros
- Helping new entrepreneurs build their 5-9 dream

How can I help YOU:

- Hit the follow — I post every day
- Join the newsletter — I post every Saturday
- Book 1:1 Strategy Call — no strings attached, DM me for details
