Hi, I’m Shelley Benhoff
Developer. Technical leader. Author. Instructor. Coach.
I’ve spent decades building a career in technology and helping other tech professionals grow theirs. Through HoffsTech, I now bring that experience together through personalized career coaching and practical online learning.
Whether you’re navigating a job search, considering a move into leadership, feeling stuck, or simply wondering what comes next, my goal is to help you find a path forward that fits your experience and priorities.
Real-World Experience, Not Generic Career Advice
My career has taken me through software development, technical leadership, curriculum development, mentoring, writing, and teaching. Along the way, I’ve experienced many of the same decisions and transitions that tech professionals face as their careers evolve.
I’ve created more than 25 technology and leadership courses for platforms including Pluralsight, LinkedIn Learning, and Dometrain, and I’m the author of Lead Developer Career Guide. I bring those experiences into every coaching conversation to provide practical guidance grounded in what it’s actually like to build a long-term career in tech.

Why I Coach
Some of the hardest challenges in a tech career aren’t technical. They’re figuring out where to go next, communicating the value of your experience, rebuilding after an unexpected change, or deciding whether the path you’ve been following is still the right one.
I created HoffsTech coaching to give tech professionals a place to work through those decisions with someone who understands the industry. My role isn’t to tell you what your career should look like. It’s to help you clarify what you want, evaluate your options, and turn your next step into an actionable plan.
