Since five years old, I have been passionate about music and computers. My passion for computers turned into a curiosity for writing computer programs, which turned into my career choice (BSE Comp Eng). Of course, I got a dual degree because I still love music. I have been in engineering roles for 20 years at big companies like Amazon and Microsoft. In my time at these large companies, I grew from entry-level engineering role to senior SDE individual contributor and then transitioned into management in 2012. My focus in the blog is to help other managers and engineers amplify their careers by the mentoring I have received. Find me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/bgrover/
