Tim is a long time friend of mine who coached me into and during my first position at Activision Blizzard. He's proactive, thoughtful, and truly a creative thinker that makes him capable of creating awesome solutions to big problems, and he'll help you find this too. Be detailed about what you need, come with an idea of what you want, even if what you want is figuring out what you want, and Tim will always be there to help you out with a straight forward answer. Thanks for everything, Tim!
I'm your coach to achieve your career goals in games and software.
I'm a Staff Software Engineer at Riot Games designing and shipping globally distributed systems. My product focus is on Matchmaking, Skill, & Rank for League of Legends, Valorant, 2XKO, & more upcoming games.
My craft focus is on distributed systems, system design, architecture, backends, APIs, AWS, Golang, JavaScript, & more. I've also worked at Activision Blizzard on Call of Duty.
Once upon a time, I was just some punk kid from Michigan with a pipe dream to work in games. Through painstaking effort, trial-by-fire, meticulous process reverse-engineering, and a lot of mistakes, I was able to achieve my goals. You can too. And you can do it faster by using my hard-earned knowledge.
Your time is valuable so I target your key career level up opportunities. I've helped dozens build attention-grabbing resumes & social media profiles, battle-harden their interview skills, & carve their perfect career trajectory. My coaching yields material results.
Stylistically, I'm a straight-shooter that doesn't bullshit you. You won't get the stock-standard industry playbook with me. I adapt to your needs. I identify your specific level up opportunities. And - as your trusty guide - I'll help you connect the dots to achieve your goals.
Note: I never reveal details about past or present employer interview processes. That information is confidential. Discussion topics are derived from my own industry experience and coaching I've done.
