Hello! Super happy to welcome you on this platform!
I'm an Associate Director of Engineering at Agoda, and honestly—I'm just a huge nerd about engineering management. With over a decade spent building and leading tech teams, I've figured out that managing engineers isn't about code, it's about people.
During my journey—learning (and sometimes struggling!) to become a better leader - I've realized how crucial it is to share experiences. That's exactly why I've created this engineering management course: to help fellow nerds navigate the jump from engineer to manager without all the stress and confusion.
At So Nerdy, I'll break down real-world engineering management into simple, practical tips and stories. No buzzwords, no jargon—just clear advice on how to lead teams, build trust, and level up your career. Let's make engineering management less mysterious, more fun, and definitely nerdy together!
