SLIDE 1: TITLE
Title: Why I’m Ready for the Next Level
Subtitle: Peter Seemayer
Speaker Notes: Hi, I’m Peter Seemayer, and I’d like to walk you through why I’m ready for the next level in my role. I’ll focus on who I am, the impact I’m having today, and how that lines up with the expectations of a Level III engineer.
SLIDE 2: WHO I AM
Title: Who I Am
Bullets: Full-stack engineer & problem-solver; Fast learner who thrives on complex challenges; Passionate about puzzles, boardgames, and videogames; Driven by “AHA!” problem-solving moments
Speaker Notes: I’m a full-stack engineer and a problem-solver at heart. I learn quickly and enjoy working through complex, challenging problems. Outside of work, I’m passionate about puzzles, boardgames, and videogames. That love for problem-solving ties strongly into how I approach engineering.
SLIDE 3: WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY WORK
Title: What I Love About My Work
Bullets: Turning ideas into working features; Solving deep, complex technical problems; Building reliable systems end-to-end; Constant learning and improvement
Speaker Notes: I love taking an idea and turning it into something real and functional. Complex technical challenges energize me — the harder the problem, the more engaged I am. I enjoy thinking about systems end-to-end, not just individual pieces. Continuous learning keeps the work meaningful and exciting.
SLIDE 4: MY STRENGTHS
Title: My Strengths
Bullets: Analytical problem-solver; Learns quickly across frontend, backend, and systems; Balances FE, BE, and delivery responsibilities; Strong ownership mindset
Speaker Notes: I’m analytical and methodical in how I solve problems. I pick up new technologies quickly and comfortably move across the full tech stack. I balance frontend, backend, and system responsibilities seamlessly. My ownership mindset ensures I see things through to completion.
SLIDE 5: KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
Title: Key Achievements
Bullets: Developed & maintain the VMI (Vault Management Interface); Took ownership of a complex critical system end-to-end; Balanced frontend, backend, and delivery responsibilities; Achieved CKAD certification (Kubernetes Application Developer)
Speaker Notes: Developing and maintaining VMI is one of my proudest achievements. I’ve taken ownership of this complex, critical system from design to long-term maintenance. It required balancing frontend, backend, and delivery aspects simultaneously. I also earned my CKAD certification, deepening my skills in building and operating containerized applications.
SLIDE 6: IMPACT (WITH CHART)
Title: My Impact
Chart: Column chart comparing “Typical Level II” vs “Where I Operate” across Scope, Autonomy, Complexity, Ownership
Speaker Notes: Across scope, autonomy, complexity, and ownership, I’m already performing above Level II expectations. I independently deliver production-ready solutions across multiple domains. My work provides stability and reliability for systems we depend on.
SLIDE 7: CAREER GROWTH TIMELINE
Title: My Career Growth Journey
Timeline Steps: Entry / Early Stage (Learning the stack, contributing features); Full-Stack Contributor (Owning features across FE & BE); System Owner (VMI) (Taking responsibility for a critical system); Emerging Level III Behaviour (Operating with senior-level autonomy and ownership)
Speaker Notes: My growth has been a steady increase in scope and responsibility. I progressed from contributing individual features to becoming a full-stack contributor. Then I became responsible for a complex system like VMI. Today, my behavior and impact already align with Level III expectations.
SLIDE 8: WHY I’M READY FOR LEVEL III
Title: Why I’m Ready for Level III
Bullets: Already operating with Level III-like autonomy; Current Level II title no longer reflects impact; Ready to contribute to architectural direction; Prepared to mentor and uplift others
Speaker Notes: My responsibilities and impact already match those expected at Level III. I operate with independence, ownership, and cross-domain expertise. I’m ready to engage more with architectural decisions. I’m also prepared to mentor and support others’ growth.
SLIDE 9: FUTURE GROWTH PATH
Title: My Future Growth Path
Bullets: Growing toward senior engineering leadership; Deepening technical expertise across the stack; Owning systems at a strategic level; Helping shape engineering culture and practices
Speaker Notes: I want to grow into senior engineering leadership. I plan to deepen my expertise and contribute to long-term architectural decisions. I aim to take strategic ownership of systems and help shape team culture.
SLIDE 10: CONCLUSION
Title: Closing
Bullets: My impact aligns with Level III expectations; I’m ready for greater ownership and leadership; Excited to keep growing at the next level
Speaker Notes: My current contributions fit the expectations of a Level III engineer. I’m ready for the expanded ownership and leadership that come with that level. Thank you for your time — I’m excited for the opportunity to continue contributing and growing.
