The Complete Engineer - Coaching for Software Engineers
What if you could build your dream tech career without sacrificing your well-being, your relationships, or your joy?
It's time to create a present and future that you're genuinely excited about.
Another skill. Another late night. Still anxious. Still behind.
This isn’t how success is supposed to feel.
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
Whether you're:
- Craving purpose but unsure what your next move should be,
- Burned out but too high-performing to just "take a break,"
- Struggling to focus despite big goals (especially if you have ADHD),
- Craving a promotion but unclear on what’s really expected,
- Ready for a move but avoiding that first step,
- Or doing great work that's constantly overlooked...
There’s a path forward.
One that’s clear, human, and aligned with who you really are.
I am Michael.
I help engineers like you thrive by becoming more of who you really are.
I’m a coach, engineering leader, and someone who’s navigated the messy middle myself. I’ve supported engineers in:
- Building confidence and clarity in their careers
- Reigniting joy and motivation at work and ending burnout
- Developing focus, follow-through, and sustainable systems
- Supporting productivity for creative, ADHD-style thinkers
- Earning promotions through enhanced confidence and focus
- Gaining recognition for the work they already do
- Living and working in alignment with their values
And I can help you do the same.
Choose Your Starting Point
Everyone's path is different, and we’ll figure out what you need together.
But here’s the different ways I typically support engineers:
From Stuck to Aligned
Find clarity, direction, and meaning in your career.
From Burned Out To SIZZLING HOT
Reclaim your energy, motivation, and joy at work.
Focus and Follow Through
Sustainable productivity for brilliant (but inconsistent) minds.
Seen & Valued
Turn invisible impact into influence and recognition.
Focus Coaching for ADHD Minds
Work with your brain—not against it—to build systems that actually stick, follow through on your best ideas, and stop beating yourself up for struggling with structure.
Promotion-Readiness
Get to the next level with clarity and confidence.
Rave Reviews
"Michael's coaching helped me break free from burnout and approach my goals with a renewed sense of purpose. He gave me practical strategies to manage my workload, structure my learning, and make more meaningful connections in both my professional and personal life.
He encouraged me to take time for self-reflection—helping me think about things I don’t normally prioritize—and gain clarity on what I need to achieve true balance. After just a few sessions, I now have a structured plan for upskilling and am taking manageable steps toward growth, all while reducing stress and improving my work-life balance."
- Alejandro Lazo (Ottawa, Canada)
"Michael's coaching directly improved the way I was able to show up as my best self, especially as someone with ADHD.
He helped me build resilience, navigate challenges, and find confidence in my unique ways of thinking. With a mindset of moving forward and growing through difficulties, he always reminded me to ground myself in my values and trust that challenges are temporary. I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, supportive leader."
- Gabriela Braga (Ottawa, Canada)
"Michael’s coaching has been a game-changer. He helped me find deeper meaning in my role and focus on bringing real value to my team and firm. We tackled imposter syndrome, how to genuinely support my team, and ways to show my full value to leadership. One of the biggest breakthroughs was learning how to turn off my work brain, be fully present at home, and finally create space for my personal life.
Every session started with me saying, “I’m not sure what to talk about, but I’m feeling stuck in XYZ,” and somehow, Michael always knew how to ask the right questions to help me uncover what was really going on. His thought-provoking approach pushed me to reflect, grow, and make lasting changes. I left every session feeling energized, more confident, and ready to take things to the next level."
- Zakary Wexler (Toronto, Canada)
"Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose."
— Viktor Frankl

Together, we uncover your core values and motivations, and ensure your goals and actions reflect what’s meaningful to you.
Understand the Blocks
We will identify the internal and external challenges holding you back. We explore current strategies, habits, and patterns - what’s working, what’s not.

ABOUT ME
I’m Michael—a coach, engineering leader, and someone who’s been where you are.
Before becoming a coach, I spent 7 years as a software engineer and 9 years as an engineering manager.
I know the pressure of high-performance environments, the weight of expectations, and the silent stress of constantly asking, “Am I actually good enough?”
There were stretches in my career where I looked successful on the outside, but inside, I was battling imposter syndrome, burnout, and a deep sense of misalignment.
I was achieving, but it didn’t feel meaningful.
Working with a coach changed everything.
It helped me reconnect with my values, rebuild my confidence, and define success on my own terms.
That experience transformed my life, and made me realize I wanted to help others do the same.
Today, coaching is more than a profession—it’s a calling.
I help engineers grow in ways that are not only successful, but deeply fulfilling and sustainable.
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working with—and learning from—many brilliant, neurodivergent minds. As a manager, I’ve supported engineers with ADHD; as a family member, I’ve seen up close how challenging it can be to thrive in systems that weren’t built for your brain.
That perspective deeply informs my coaching. I help clients build systems and strategies that work with their natural rhythm, not against it—so they can stop feeling broken and start building momentum.
And I’m also a father of five kids, which means I deeply understand the ongoing dance of work, life, and meaning. I believe that success is not about being more productive—it’s about aligning your work with your values, your energy, and your relationships.
You don’t have to figure this all out alone.
Let’s build a career—and a life—that actually feels like yours.
Let's talk!
