Three core competencies that separate great Tech Leads from the rest.
Turn your technical skills into real impact. It's not just about fixing problems — it's about leading solutions your team and company respect. Guide your team with confidence and watch your influence grow.
Earn your seat at the decision-making table. By mastering communication between tech and business, you become indispensable. Show stakeholders you understand the business as well as the code.
Leadership is about people, not projects. As a Tech Lead, your ability to inspire and guide your team defines your career. Be more than a boss — be the mentor your team truly needs.
First Lead is built on the same strategies and methods Fernando used to transform the careers of thousands of tech professionals. If you're a developer hungry for more, this course was made for you.
You're unsure if you're ready for the next step? This course gives you the roadmap to master the 3 pillars that accelerate career growth. Whether you aim to become a manager or a highly recognized specialist, First Lead equips you to move up.
Most Tech Leads are promoted without proper training. That's why so many spend their time firefighting and carrying projects alone. First Lead is designed to change that. You'll learn practical concepts that make leadership lighter, more effective, and sustainable.
Don't just take my word for it — hear from Tech Leads who've put these strategies into practice.
“Working with Fernando was a turning point for me. He has an incredible ability to connect with real challenges and create clear, actionable plans that drive results.”
As a co-founder and CTO of a fast-growing startup, I was drowning in challenges: constant firefighting, lack of time, and no clarity on what truly mattered. Fernando's mentorship was a game changer.
“Fernando's guidance not only accelerated my own growth — it helped me speed up 3 other teammates. I even received a positive feedback email from my manager.”
In just three sessions, I was able to apply Fernando's insights directly to my work. One of his recommendations helped me create an internal training that accelerated 3 teammates' development.
“The investment already paid for itself many times over. Fernando's guidance was hands down one of the best investments we've made.”
Fernando brought clarity and actionable insights that we could immediately apply to our company. The sessions quickly paid off and continue to generate value as we move forward.
“The course is pure gold. The step-by-step framework works anywhere — it gave me clarity and confidence to thrive as a Tech Lead.”
As a consultant, opportunities to grow beyond senior roles are rare. The templates, especially the spreadsheet and onboarding guide for new Tech Leads, are pure gold.
“Just started the course today, watched 3 videos — the content is amazing. Really badass.”
The content is clear, practical, and powerful. You can tell right away this isn't just theory, it's actionable knowledge for real Tech Leads.
“Two weeks after Fernando's guidance, I had 3 interviews lined up and over 10 recruiter responses — after months of being ignored.”
In just one 30-minute conversation, he showed me how to tell my story in a way that stood out. His mentorship gave me the clarity, confidence, and edge I needed to grow.

In my 22 years in tech, I've been a Software Engineer, Tech Lead, Manager, and CTO. I've built and sold two companies, led teams through major challenges, and made every mistake you can imagine along the way.
That's why I created First Lead. I know firsthand how overwhelming the Tech Lead role can feel — unclear expectations, constant pressure, and no real guidance. Yet it's also the single most powerful role for accelerating your career as a developer.
Over the years, I've mentored hundreds of Tech Leads directly and taught thousands of students — first in Brazil, and now expanding worldwide — through First Lead, helping them gain the skills, confidence, and respect they need to succeed.
Now it's your turn.
