I’m an Engineering Manager leading the Developer Experience team at Vultr, where my team builds developer-facing platforms end to end, from frontends to backend systems and cloud infrastructure. Not long ago I was a college student myself, unsure which direction to take in tech. In the roughly four years since, I’ve gone from engineer to leading a team, and I’ve learned a lot about what actually matters early on: picking a direction, building the right skills, and growing fast once you’re in. Frontend, backend, cloud, DevOps, data, AI, DevEx, product: there are a lot of paths, and it’s hard to tell which one suits you from the outside. I’ll help you find what you actually enjoy, figure out which vertical matches your strengths, and plan practical next steps. I’m happy to talk about: • Choosing a career path and vertical in tech • Finding what you’re genuinely passionate about, not just what’s trending • Building projects and skills that get you noticed • Landing internships and your first role • Growing quickly in your first few years • Resume and portfolio reviews Book a session if you want honest advice from someone who was recently in your shoes.
