Your skills are excellent, but something's missing

You've mastered the frameworks. Shipped the features. Optimised the systems. But lately, you can't shake the feeling that your skills are being used to optimise the wrong things.

Maybe you're struggling with:

• Building products that increase consumption while the climate collapses

• Perfecting algorithms that amplify harm instead of human potential

• Feeling disconnected from the impact your work has on real people

• Wondering about switching careers

• The growing gap between your personal ethics and your professional output

Your technical skills could be changing the world. Instead, they're entrenching harm.

What if you could serve something that matters?

I've navigated this exact transition - I started my career in a traditional software engineering job before I joined the non-profit sector. There are many ways your skills and expertise can help people.

I've led community organisations, non-profits and engineering teams all while holding onto my values. Most recently as Head of Engineering for a SaaS serving non-profits, I helped build a values-aligned company that strengthened nonprofits globally. It's possible for tech to do good, if we're thoughtful about it.

"Chris helped me confront my own biases about what a technical leader 'should' look like, encouraging me to lean into my soft-touch approach... This gave me confidence to pursue a path that felt authentic to me."

- Shaii, who transformed from engineer to values-driven leader

Through 1:1 coaching and strategic guidance, we'll:

Honour all your strengths yes, you're technically skilled, but if you're reading this you're likely also high EQ and sensitive to injustice. Your work should be honouring all those aspects of yourself

Map your unique intersection of technical skills, values, and potential impact

Explore realistic pathways from where you are to where your values call you

Address the practical challenges of aligning career with conscience—including financial planning and risk management

Build connections and strategies for finding or creating purpose-driven technical work

"Rather than always simply providing answers, Chris often asked insightful questions that encouraged reflection and deeper learning... Chris has made a lasting impact on my career."

- Jesse Martin, People-First Tech Leader

How we'll work together

1:1 Leadership Transformation

• 3 or 6-month engagements focused on your specific challenges

• Biweekly or Weekly video sessions

• Practical strategies for finding meaningful technical work

Group Workshops (Coming Soon)

• "Tech Skills for Good": How to practically contribute your expertise to mission-driven organizations without making assumptions (spoiler: resource stretched non-profits are often, by necessity, more efficient than cashed up tech companies)

Not sure which is right for you? Book a free 30 minute strategy session and lets make a plan together.

Note: This work is for engineers ready to question what we're building and why. If you're comfortable with the status quo or think tech is politically neutral, we're probably not aligned.

Let's start your journey

Whether you're ready for a major career shift or seeking purpose within your current role, let's chart a path that truly reflects who you want to be
