About the show

From Code to People: The New Engineering Manager’s Podcast is a practical leadership series for engineers, developers, technical leads, and senior individual contributors making the transition from solving technical problems to leading people.

Becoming an engineering manager requires more than technical expertise. You must learn how to delegate without micromanaging, run meaningful one-on-one meetings, give useful feedback, manage former peers, communicate with executives, make decisions with incomplete information, and build a team that can perform without depending on you for every answer.

Hosted by TJ Walker, this focused podcast helps first-time engineering managers understand the mindset, communication skills, and leadership habits required to move from individual contributor to effective technical leader.

Each episode delivers direct, practical guidance on engineering management, workplace communication, delegation, team development, feedback, decision-making, managing up, and leadership confidence.

From Code to People is part of the Ultamize Personal Development Podcast Network, a growing collection of focused podcasts created to help professionals strengthen leadership, communication, career, and personal development skills through practical learning and repetition.
