Private Engineering Coach

My journey in Silicon Valley started when I got my Computer Science degree from UC Berkeley in 2007. It continued into the workforce where I have over 11+ years of experience as an individual contributor, as well as 6+ years as a people leader. I have a wide range of experience from being the first hire at a Seed funded startup to being part of an acquisition by Salesforce and many in between, with a heavy focus on Series A and B organizations.Learn from my years of experience to achieve your personal goals.
