I help tech teams unlock their full potential—not just through code, but by mastering the skills that drive success. At Utterskills, we focus on soft skills that make developers more effective: communication, efficiency, collaboration, and business acumen. Our micro-learning courses & workshops help reduce inefficiencies, improve teamwork, and create real impact. Why? 70% of software projects fail due to miscommunication—not bad code.
