From Bike Shop to Tech Leadership

I didn’t start in tech—I was a bike mechanic and salesman before I ever wrote a line of code. But I wanted more than that.

So, I taught myself to code, landed a developer job, and worked my way up. I became a Lead Developer (where I also handled Scrum Master duties) and later an Engineering Manager.

Leadership wasn’t easy. It wasn’t just about writing better code—it was about building trust, managing teams, and making an impact.

That’s why I started Tech Lead Mastery—to share practical, immediately applicable tips with engineers who want to become truly effective leaders.

Here, you’ll learn how to:
Communicate and influence effectively
Lead with confidence even before you get the title
Build high-performing teams without burning out
Step into leadership without losing your technical edge

I share what worked, what didn’t, and what you can apply right away.
