👋 Intro to Irina

I interviewed

Irina Stanescu
, an ex-Uber Staff Engineer and writer of
The Caring Techie Newsletter
.

What makes Irina special?

Across Google and Uber, Irina progressed from a new-grad engineer to Staff Engineer, tech lead, and manager within 8 years.

She writes incredible advice on

The Caring Techie Newsletter
, and this past week I interviewed her live to discuss how to be a leader no matter your authority.
