Senior Engineer to
Tech Lead in 90 Days
You already ship solid tech solutions. Now it's time to learn the skills you need to become a truly effective leader
— whether or not your company supports your path.


You’re a senior developer who wants to lead but have no formal leadership experience.
You’re an experienced engineer, unsure how to start the transition to leadership duties.
You feel disorganized and overwhelmed by the reality of day‑to‑day team management.
Your company doesn’t support your career path to become a leader.
You lack proven leadership techniques and need a practical playbook for the toughest issues.
With 10+ years leading high-performing engineering teams and building teams from 0 to 15 members, I help senior developers become effective tech leaders while staying hands-on. However, before I wrote software, I was a BMX flatland pro, so I know exactly how to balance precision, creativity, and risk.


Aleksa Ljujic
Engineering Lead
“I applied for the program with Gábor because I saw an opportunity to improve my leadership skills and learn best practices for leading teams.
As I had just stepped into the Engineering Lead role for the first time in my career, I was trying to lead a team and set up processes — but in reality, everything felt chaotic. Anxiety and constant firefighting didn’t lead to real results. That’s when I connected with Gábor and decided to join the program.
Going through the structured modules week by week, I was able to address specific problems, remove poor leadership practices, and become more organized and focused. This also reflected in my team’s improvements and the start of creating real business impact.
The most valuable aspects for me were time and priority management, improving communication, and learning how to avoid the common traps new leaders often fall into.
I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to strengthen their leadership skills and, through a structured approach, learn how to build a team that consistently delivers business outcomes.
Thanks to Gábor, I was able to achieve goals such as becoming more organized, aligning business and technical perspectives, feeling more confident, and being more productive for my team.
I especially want to highlight Gábor’s ability to break down complex problems to their root cause in a simple way, which makes finding the right solution much easier. I also really appreciated the practical tools, templates, and guides - such as the time-blocking template, 1-1s guidance, communication framework, and conflict resolution framework - as well as the support in solving real-life challenges within my team.
Special thanks also go to Gábor for his guidance on how asking strategic and challenging questions can make the decision-making process much easier to manage.”
