Want to be mentored?
Investing into others and helping guide careers is one of the things I'm most passionate about!
Grow your career and get the job of your dreams
- 🎯Focus on what matters most
- I'll help you embrace the Pareto Principle, and focus on the 20% of effort that will get you 80% of the success. This will allow you to double-down on what is important in order to get that promotion or land the job.
- 💙Personalized mentorship
- The challenge of being self-taught is it can be difficult to know if you're on the right track. It can be difficult to be 100% honest with your co-workers or boss to ask the questions you really want to understand.
- 🚀Get to the next level
- There is a ton of competition in the tech industry right now. But working together we can get you to the next level, whether it's scoring that interview or the new promotion.
- ✨I believe in you
- Sometimes you just need someone who has your back, can encourage you and believes in you. I'm in this to help you succeed and get where you want to be.

Reach out, I'm happy to talk things through!
Eddie is positive and helpful. He is an amazing problem solver, very motivational, encouraging, constructive, technically competent, and a great communicator.
My mission
My goal is to bring more joy and empathy to the tech industry. Part of that happens through investing in helping others be the best they can be and get the skills, recognition, raises, and promotions that they deserve. But most importantly to find positions and roles that inspire and excite them!
I am a firm believer that in order to build the best products possible, we need to increase the diversity of those in tech. Which means, I particularly appreciate working with and mentoring those who are under-represented in the tech industry.
