About Thriving In Engineering

Hello, my name is Alex Ponomarev. I’ve worked in the software engineering industry for 25+ years, doing work in roles such as:

  • DevOps engineer

  • Software developer

  • UX designer

  • Digital marketer

  • Engineering manager

  • And engineering leader

I’ve also founded my own company and grown it from scratch to where it is today.

I love what I do, but I know just how hard our industry is. Too many people get overwhelmed, feel lost and powerless, and burn out or quit.

I want to put a stop to that.

So, every week, I share three practical, deep-dive guides based on my experiences and about topics that will help you:

  • Take back control of your career

  • Reduce stress

  • Know how to do the things you want to do

  • And keep up with what’s changing

They’re delivered to your inbox every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

I also regularly post Notes, sharing additional thoughts and recommending other useful newsletters and guides.

And if you’re not sure where to start, here are all of my guides gathered in one place, so you can easily find the one you want.
