Who This Is For
This is for senior engineers navigating the AI transition and:
- Watching AI commoditise skills you spent years building
- Feeling genuine fear or panic about staying relevant
- Unsure whether to go deeper technically or pivot to leadership
- Ready to move from reactive to intentional about your next step
Typical Roles include:
Senior Software Engineers (5-15+ years) who are technically strong but uncertain about their value as AI commoditises parts of their craft.
Engineering Managers and Tech Leads who need to reposition themselves and their teams while managing their own careers.
Staff Engineers and Architects who want to evolve from pure technical depth to effective leadership that AI can’t replace.

Tailored Coaching: Launching Soon
Some engineers need more than a single conversation—they want ongoing strategy, accountability and support through their transition.
I’m launching a tailored coaching program for engineers who want:
Personalised strategy for your specific situation
Regular sessions for accountability and guidance
Practical implementation in your actual work
Support as you navigate your transition
There is limited early access available
If you need immediate support, book a free call to discuss if this is suitable for you.
Why Work With Me
I’m not a career coach selling theory—I’m a Lead Engineer navigating this transition with my teams.
I’m a Lead Software Engineer at Visa, where I’m leading a strategic cross-border payments platform redesign with 6+ squads (around 42 engineers). We are actively embedding AI tools across our development lifecycle.
I’ve seen the same fear, anxiety and uncertainty in our teams that you’re probably feeling: engineers who’ve built deep expertise watching AI change the rules and not knowing what to do next.
Before Visa: I worked with JPMorgan for 14 years, building FX trading platforms, leading teams across London, India and Singapore and mentoring them through major transitions.
What this means for you:
- Real production experience at scale in regulated environments
- Peer perspective—I’m a couple years ahead, sharing what’s working as I learn it
- Honest conversation—I’m not pretending to have all the answers
I created TopSkills to give senior engineers a place to review and determine the skills they actually need to excel through this transition—not just survive it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really free?
Yes. No obligation, no sales pitch. Either way you decide.
Why are you offering free calls?
I’m seeing genuine panic among senior engineers and I want to help. These conversations also help me structure the upcoming coaching program to what senior software engineers actually need.
How long will you offer free calls?
For a limited period. I can’t sustain this indefinitely while leading 6 squads at Visa, but right now this is where I want to focus my energy.
Do you have coaching certification?
I don’t have formal coaching certification. These are peer conversations based on 20+ years leading and mentoring engineering teams, and 3 years navigating the AI transition at scale.
