I help rational and productive tech leaders thrive. 🚀

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆:

🐌 dev velocity slowing down

😵‍💫 teams spinning their wheels on activities that don’t move the needle

🔥 outages and constant firefighting

🗓️ your super busy schedule

🤷‍♂️ team members not speaking up or taking initiative


Is it surprising that up to 70% of software projects 💥 fail? Can you afford that in this challenging economic environment?

𝗬𝗼𝘂 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺) 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼:

🏎️ unlock productivity with better dev infrastructure and team dynamics

🎯 express your business goals more clearly, translating to technical terms

🚧 tackle the root causes of instability, with a blameless postmortem practice

💪 safely empower the team so you can delegate and think strategically

🙋‍♂️ improve psychological safety, team dynamics, and intrinsic motivation


𝗠𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:
I’ve spent my formative engineering years with the Chrome’s foundational team, earning the Google Founders’ Award for my contributions. During the amazing growth from a handful of people to thousands of engineers, I’ve fixed, overhauled, and led key parts of the dev infrastructure; providing technical leadership for ~50 contributors.

I repeated the success with re-engineering of Google Cloud’s integration with Let’s Encrypt, and similar system improvements and design reviews at Citadel (one of the leading firms in Finance, #1 in several rankings).

My hands-on experience at scale is a feature. I’m an engineer at heart, easily building rapport with fellow engineers. I’m passionate about getting things done, for good. I’m proud the solutions I’ve created are still running, years from my departure. I’ve entered consulting to help more engineering teams experience the same - and thrive.
