A personal account of progressing from support work to Head of Engineering, emphasizing mentorship, people leadership, coaching, and adapting development programs to individual needs.

### Source excerpt

My Path to Head of Engineering Early in my career, I was tucked away in a corner doing the kind of support work nobody else wanted to touch. I'd spend days wrestling with tricky issues on my own, with no one to bounce ideas off. After a while, I genuinely started to wonder if I just wasn't very good at this. What changed everything was a leader who noticed what I was doing, saw more potential in me than I saw in myself, and quietly opened a door.
