Lead with clarity, influence, and people intelligence.
The Top Tech Leader gives you a complete system for building a focused, grounded, and people-smart leadership career from first-time manager to seasoned executive.
Once upon a time, you were an engineer.
Â
You wrote code, shipped features, and solved problems in clean, logical ways. You knew where your value came from and you could see it, compile it, and deploy it.
Then you became a leader... and the rules changed.
Success got fuzzier. Meetings replaced deep work. People replaced code. And the instincts that made you a great engineer?
They didn’t always help.
You overexplained. You jumped in to fix things.
You focused on output instead of outcomes.
You avoided the conversations that mattered most.
And you’re not alone.
Â
Most engineering leaders learn by guessing.
Â
They move through their careers relying on instinct, staying reactive, and quietly burning out trying to do it all.
For years, the path to great leadership in tech has been fragmented: a blog post here, a podcast there. Books full of advice that sound good but don’t tell you how. Mentors who mean well but can't explain the system behind their decisions.
There’s no single place to learn what it actually takes to lead in engineering across levels, teams, and messy realities.
That’s why I created The Top Tech Leader Method.
It’s the course I wish I’d had when I moved from engineer to leader — a step-by-step system for growing into a thoughtful, effective, and resilient leader in modern tech.
Over the last 20+ years, I’ve led engineering teams at Microsoft, Yahoo, and Walmart Labs, and coached over 500 global engineering leaders — from first-time leads to senior VPs.
And I’ve seen the same patterns, the same struggles, and the same gaps in training.
This course is everything I’ve taught, tested, and refined, all in one place.
Â
What will you learn?
Â
My goal with The Top Tech Leader is to equip you with the complete roadmap to build and sustain a focused, fulfilling leadership career in tech.
The course includes a full framework for developing core leadership skills: from leading people and driving strategy, to influencing without authority and navigating tough conversations.
You’ll learn how to coach your team, handle complex org dynamics, prioritize effectively, and lead with clarity even when everything is changing around you.
You’ll also get practical tools to avoid burnout, scale your impact, and stay grounded in your values, no matter your role or company size.
If you're looking for a complete, tried-and-true system you can use to grow your career at any stage of leadership, this is it.
