The Complete Engineer - Coaching for Software Engineers Who Also Want a Life
Another skill. Another late night. Still anxious. Still behind.
This isn’t how success is supposed to feel.
What if you could build your dream tech career without sacrificing your well-being, your relationships, or your joy?
"Michael's coaching helped me break free from burnout and approach my goals with a renewed sense of purpose.
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, Senior Software Engineer (Ottawa, Canada)
It's time to create a present and future that you're genuinely excited about.
You don’t need more productivity.
- You’ve done everything “right” — and still feel stuck.
- Maybe you’re burned out but too high-performing to stop.
- Maybe you're craving purpose but can’t see the next step.
- Maybe you’re focused on everyone else’s expectations — and losing sight of your own.
- Or maybe you're tired of doing great work that no one seems to notice.
You’re not broken. You’re just running a system that was never built for you.

"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, Software Engineer (Ottawa, Canada)
I am Michael.
I help engineers build careers that support their lives, not consume them.
I’m a coach, an engineering leader, and someone who’s navigated burnout, self-doubt, and major career crossroads.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, burned out, or unsure what you’re even working toward anymore.
I’ve helped engineers:
- Rebuild confidence and clarity after setbacks or stalled growth
- Reignite motivation and joy after burnout
- Develop systems that support sustainable focus and follow-through — especially for ADHD-style thinkers
- Earn promotions through deeper confidence, communication, and strategy
- Get recognized for the impact they already make
- Realign their work with what actually matters to them
If you’re ready to get your life back, I am here to help.
It's time for a RESET
"Michael brings a rare combination of clarity, empathy, and real-world tech experience to his coaching. His background as a software engineering manager gives him a deep understanding of the challenges engineers face, which makes his guidance feel especially relevant and actionable.
Through our sessions, I was able to gain perspective, untangle priorities, and move forward with more confidence. He asks the right questions, listens deeply, and creates a space where progress feels both achievable and sustainable.
If you’re an engineer looking for more clarity, direction, or a stronger sense of alignment in your career, I highly recommend working with Mike."
- Kevin Beltrão, Senior Software Engineer (Recife, Brazil)

"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."

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.
