I’m Tim, Lead Technology Career Coach at Coaching Technology Group, Inc., a former hiring manager at Wizards of the Coast, and an ICF-certified Professional Certified Coach (PCC). I’ve guided hundreds of software engineers, product managers, engineering leaders, and tech professionals through successful career transitions—with an average job search duration of 4-6 months, even in 2026’s competitive market.
Serving tech professionals across the United States through remote coaching sessions tailored to your schedule and career goals.
- Corporate job search and career pivots with an emphasis on the actual “how-to” of job search, doing your resume, LinkedIn profile tuning, FAANG interview preparation, mock interviews, expert salary negotiation (based on other clients’ real results), and additional career services and counseling for you to get your tech career started or restarted. More than just career advice, we give you personalized attention and show you how to do each step of the process. Proven success in helping engineers working on an AI/ML pivot.
- Corporate Leadership Coaching for working professionals focused on advanced communication skills and philosophy of management, especially early career and first-time managers in corporate settings. Move past Impostor Syndrome and develop soft skills that corporate training seldom discusses.
- Effective Remote/Hybrid Team Performance Management Skills for individuals navigating the unique challenges of leading remote teams at all levels of experience.
- Early-stage startup company coaching supporting all levels from C-suite to contingent staff to improve communication and culture while preserving the employee’s confidentiality. Very experienced in supporting tech startups where no formal HR function exists and workers need coaching support to improve company culture and morale.
Tech Career Coaching & Job Search Services
Resume Optimization & ATS Strategy for Technology Roles
Navigate tech layoffs and career transitions with expert guidance. I specialize in helping mid-career tech professionals land their next role through:
- ATS-Compliant Resumes that upload accurately to Workday. You need a resume that catches a recruiter’s eye and passes applicant tracking systems at FAANG companies, enterprise tech firms, and with corporate hiring teams.
- LinkedIn Profile Optimization: Seven-point profile update that increases recruiter views and visibility in LinkedIn Recruiter, the tool most top tech company recruiters use to find candidates on LinkedIn.
- Tech Interview Preparation: One-on-one mock interviews with real-time feedback, focused on our unique behavioral storytelling approach, the SCARF method – an update on the well-known (and less effective) STAR method. Want to stand out? Nail your interview by becoming a master storyteller.
- Job Search Strategy: Time-saving tactics for software engineers, product managers, data scientists, and tech leaders, including how-to guides for networking, outreach, lesser-known job boards, and ways to cut through the AI slop polluting the job-seeking marketplace.
- Salary Negotiation Coaching: Navigate compensation packages and secure 6-figure offers from tech companies using the same strategies we’ve successfully used with previous clients, along with our knowledge of the job marketplace.
Roles I specialize in: Software Engineers, Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Data Scientists, UX Designers, Product Designers, Technical Program Managers, DevOps Engineers, and tech-adjacent corporate roles, including Consultants, Finance Professionals, and Enterprise Sales.
Industries served: SaaS companies, tech startups (seed to Series C), FAANG and big tech, gaming companies, fintech, and enterprise software.

My Approach to Professional Coaching
Philosophy: “How You Are Turning Out Right Now”
After working with hundreds of clients in tech and corporate environments, I’ve learned everyone wants more from their career and life—better relationships, easier conversations, clearer intentions, and greater satisfaction.
My coaching philosophy centers on two questions:
- “What if there is nothing to be fixed?”
- “What if your life is exactly what you are committed to it being?”
Your current results—career trajectory, relationships, satisfaction—reflect the sum of your conscious and unconscious commitments. Together, we uncover what you truly care about (revealed through your actions and choices) and decide if those commitments serve you.
There’s no judgment, nothing “wrong” to fix. We discover what we find, you decide what works, and we create an action plan with specific commitments you set for yourself.
This approach works for:
- Career transitions (planned or unexpected tech layoffs)
- Mid-career professionals feeling “stuck” or unfulfilled
- Leaders seeking breakthrough results in communication and influence
- Anyone ready for meaningful change in their professional life
I am 100% committed to you getting whatever it is you want to have happen.
