One-to-one coaching

Better evidence. Better engineering habits.

Practical coaching for platform and cloud engineers: prepare for the next role, or rebuild the daily workflow that is slowing the current one down.

Two tracks

Coaching shaped around the outcome.

Start with the constraint rather than a package. The intro call identifies the useful track, then each session works on real material from your role or workflow.

01

Career coaching

Turn experience into evidence.

For platform and cloud engineers preparing for a difficult interview, repositioning for senior scope or deciding whether contracting is the right move.

  1. 01

    Interview preparation

    Technical and behavioural practice built around the role in front of you, with direct feedback on how the answer lands.

    Mock interviews · System design · Behavioural evidence

  2. 02

    CV and evidence

    Replace responsibility lists with a defensible record of decisions, constraints and measured outcomes.

    CV review · Evidence bank · Role positioning

  3. 03

    Senior progression

    Identify the gap between strong execution and senior or lead scope, then build a practical plan to close it.

    Scope mapping · Leadership narrative · Progression plan

  4. 04

    Contracting transition

    An honest view of positioning, commercial expectations and the working habits needed to deliver independently.

    Market positioning · Engagement readiness · Risk review

02

Workflow coaching

Build a system you can explain.

For engineers who want a faster terminal and AI-assisted workflow without inheriting an opaque pile of somebody else’s shortcuts.

  1. 01

    Editor and terminal

    Shape Neovim and tmux around the work you actually perform, with discoverable commands and a recovery path.

    Neovim · tmux · Shell

  2. 02

    Git under pressure

    Worktrees, history repair, reviewable commits and repeatable branch habits for parallel delivery.

    Git · Worktrees · Review workflow

  3. 03

    AI-assisted delivery

    Use agents to investigate, implement and verify while keeping evidence, review and approval with the engineer.

    AI-assisted development · Agent workflows · Verification gates

  4. 04

    Reproducible setup

    Turn personal configuration into a source-controlled environment that can be rebuilt, debugged and changed safely.

    Dotfiles · Bootstrap scripts · Diagnostics
