# Principal Engineer @ Autodesk | Career Mentor | Engineering Leadership Coach I've spent 11+ years building large-scale platforms and leading cross-functional initiatives at global technology companies. As a Principal Engineer at Autodesk, I work on platform capabilities, collaborate across multiple engineering organizations, and regularly partner with senior leaders to drive strategic technical decisions. Throughout my career, I've noticed that many talented engineers don't struggle because of technical skills—they struggle because no one teaches them how to navigate their career. If you're feeling stuck, I can help you with: * Breaking through career plateaus and creating a clear growth plan. * Understanding why promotions aren't happening, even when you're working hard. * Building visibility and influence instead of just delivering tasks. * Managing difficult managers, peers, and workplace conflicts professionally. * Developing leadership skills without having a management title. * Preparing for Senior, Staff, Principal Engineer, and Engineering Manager roles. * Navigating organizational politics in a healthy and ethical way. * Improving communication with stakeholders and leadership. * Dealing with imposter syndrome, burnout, and the mental stress that often comes with demanding engineering roles. * Making confident career decisions, whether you're considering a job switch or staying in your current company. My mentoring style is practical and honest. I don't offer generic advice—I share real-world experiences, frameworks, mistakes I've made, and lessons I've learned while working in large engineering organizations. Whether you're an early-career engineer or an experienced professional aiming for Staff, Principal, or Engineering Manager roles, my goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for sustainable career growth. Sometimes, all you need is someone who has been through similar challenges and can help you see the path forward.
