Sameera Perera

I'm an engineering leader, a developer, a software architect and also a product manager at one point.

Transitioning from an individual contributor to manager is not easy; it certainly wasn't easy for me. I'm here to help anyone who's struggling in that journey; to help you become better leaders or simply to help you become a better version of yourself if management isn't your desired path.

Some reasons why you may want to talk to me:
• If you are a manager, and you are struggling to create the right type of culture in your team, having issues with remote work, faced with high attrition, or dealing with difficult team members.
• If you are an IC and want some guidance on your next career move or cannot figure out how to get to the next level.
• If you are an innovator in whatever way and want to ideate or get constructive feedback.
• Or anyone who needs guidance on crafting the best resume, how to face specific interview questions, etc.
