Here’s why I am well positioned to guide and support you in achieving your goals:

1. Passion for helping others grow: I feel self-fulfilled when I could help others grow, therefore I have been teaching, mentoring, and coaching throughout my career. For the same reason, I moved into engineering management career track after being an engineer for 10+ years.
2. Extensive work experience: I navigated the culture transition from China to the United States. I weathered multiple economic downturns and tough job markets, starting with the dot-com bubble bursting right after I graduated. I've been through countless job interviews as both a candidate and an interviewer. I’ve successfully transitioned between multiple roles and levels in my career, including individual contributor, tech lead, manager, and manager of managers at FAANG companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon.
3. Proven teaching, mentoring, and coaching skills: I recognize that excelling at something and helping others achieve it are entirely different skills. To excel at both, I’ve invested significant time and effort in honing my ability to support others, including teaching AP courses at high schools and evening courses on Software Product Management at the University of Washington. I am also working toward becoming a certified ICF coach. 

This combination of passion, experience, and a commitment to professional development equips me to help you achieve meaningful transformation in your career growth.
