Hi I’m Anemari 🙂

I have been in tech for over 10 years, building my career by coding, leading, coaching, mentoring, and training.

I now use all these skills to help you level up your tech career 🚀

About me 

I knew early in my career that I wanted to become a Tech Lead and after a lot of learning and training supported by ThoughtWorks, I became one.

I loved the role so much that I got burnt out. When I started out as a Tech Lead, no one warned me on exactly how hard and complex this role actually is, as it’s at the intersection of people, tech and business.

A lot of the books and resources out there cover tech leadership in general or they are focused on specific roles like Staff Engineers, Engineering Managers or CTOs, so I struggled to understand what exactly applied to me as a Tech Lead.

With time, I understood why it was hard to find targeted resources on this role: because the tech industry cannot agree on what the Tech Lead role is.

This is why I created this newsletter: to shed some light on this misunderstood role in tech with the hope that this will make others’ journeys of transition into this role easier.


This newsletter will help you:

▶️ understand the fundamental responsibilities and expectations of a Tech Lead, along with the challenges you may face in the role

▶️ learn specific, actionable strategies for handling daily challenges such as team alignment, technical projects management, tech debt management, conflict resolution, delegation and feedback analysis

▶️ discover new and advanced strategies to refine your leadership style
