About me
I've spent 20+ years in software engineering, DevOps, and SRE. I've reached senior twice, first as a Senior Software Engineer, then as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer.
I focus on practical, real-world engineering. This means systems thinking, reliability, clear communication, and intentional career development. My goal is to give you the grounded, direct guidance I wish I'd had earlier in my career.

What people are saying
"Olivia has an immediate impact on conversations that can span career assessments to technical goals. What really stood out was her approach to helping me achieve my goals. We moved off of stating problems and instead worked through solutions. She makes the learning process fun and engaging. I highly recommend her, especially if you are new to coding or just want to work through something that has you stuck."
"I had the pleasure of working with Olivia across two companies. Having the opportunity to rehire someone says a lot about the trust and confidence you have in their character and contributions, and Olivia fully earned that confidence. She is one of the most collaborative and positive team members I've worked with. I would happily recommend her to any organization."

Common questions
Which service should I start with?
If you're not sure, reach out on LinkedIn and we'll figure it out together. If your resume needs work, start with Fresh Squeeze. If you want ongoing support across multiple areas, Career Accelerator is the best value. If you have a specific challenge and just need one focused conversation, book a Focused Hour.
What happens after I pay?
For Fresh Squeeze, you'll receive instructions on how to submit your resume. For Career Accelerator and Focused Hour, I'll follow up to schedule your session(s) and send a pre-work intake so we can hit the ground running.
Can I upgrade from Fresh Squeeze to Career Accelerator?
Yes. If you start with a resume review and want to keep going with sessions, just let me know. I'll work with you to make the transition seamless.
Who is this best suited for?
Experienced software and infrastructure engineers who haven't gotten the senior title yet. Also senior engineers looking for peer support with challenges or leading larger initiatives. If you're feeling stuck or want clarity on what it actually takes to clear that bar, this is for you.
Can my company pay for this?
Yes. Many engineers use professional development budgets or learning stipends. I can provide an invoice for your company if needed.
What's the refund policy?
If we can't find a time that works or circumstances change before we meet, I'll refund you in full. After the session, I stand behind the value delivered.
The bigger picture
These services are the first step toward something larger. I'm building a guided learning platform for engineers. The goal is to make senior-level knowledge accessible to everyone.
Every dollar goes directly toward building that platform. When you work with me, you're investing in your growth and helping make quality engineering education accessible to others.
