Hi, I’m Simon.

I started my engineering career in 2013 at Upstart, building it from 4 engineers to 400. I’ve contributed, led, and managed Product, Data, and Platform Engineering teams. I’ve created and executed an org-wide internship program and coached numerous engineers 1:1, from fresh boot camp grads to industry veterans.

I care about communication, and building up the people around me, and seeing the good in every villain1. I like to organize things and people2, making order out of chaos.

I coach software engineers on overcoming their demons and getting to the next level. I run a Slack community of thoughtful tech workers. I also write about software engineering careers, and sometimes other things that I like3.

The easiest way to reach me is email. But you can also reach out over LinkedIn, or my aforementioned Slack community.
