RECOMMENDATIONS

โ˜… โ˜… โ˜… โ˜… โ˜…

Finds and fixes root causes

instead of patching over.

Marc-Antoine

โ˜… โ˜… โ˜… โ˜… โ˜…

Always focused on understanding
what customers really needed
and solving systemic issues.

Dirk

โ˜… โ˜… โ˜… โ˜… โ˜…

Has the ability to take on very complex tasks spanning over many systems and teams, some of them no one else could or dared
to even try to take on.

Henrik
Senior Engineering Manager

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 Securities.

Services

As a portfolio professional, I mostly work with startups - providing expertise on a project and fractional basis - before they need a full-time role, and on a long-term retainer to get targeted advice as needed.

Early guidance

When you're just starting out, without a technical co-founder, I'm here to help you get clarity on your technical requirements, and getting started with your Proof of Concept, Founding Engineer, and MVP.

Second Opinion / Tech Audit

Do you want to have all bases covered on a major technical undertaking? Inherited a legacy codebase or deployment, and wondering where trouble might be lurking, and how to pragmatically reinforce stability? As an Ex-Google Tech Lead, I've got you covered - just another day at work!

Hands-on Tech Leadership

When you're growing your engineering team, I'm here to help you 'tame the chaos': bridging the gap between tech and business, unlocking productivity growth, leading the way on learning from and preventing outages, with blameless postmortems and making experiments safer with robust infrastructure.
