Work With Me
Lead teams that learn fast, improve continuously, and deliver with confidence.
I help engineering leaders and teams transform how they work—by improving decision-making, developer experience, organizational trust, and the systems that create quality.
If you’ve read my writing, you know I believe leadership is a discipline of curiosity, empiricism, and transparency. I work with organizations that want to scale these traits across teams, processes, and technology.

Ways to Work With Me
The Signals Check-In (90 minutes)
A focused diagnostic session for a leader or team.
We identify where decisions stall, where trust is thin, and where friction slows the business.
Includes a one-page “Do More / Do Less / Try Instead” playbook.
Engineering Experience Audit (2–4 weeks)
Deep analysis of developer workflows, reliability posture, platform gaps, and organizational bottlenecks.
You receive a systems map and a prioritized set of recommendations that improve velocity and reduce frustration.
Leader Coaching Package (6–12 sessions)
For engineering leaders who want to level up how they lead—not just what they deliver.
We work on influence, communication, psychological safety, and strategic clarity.
My Approach
Empirical
Leaders don’t need more certainty, they need better experiments.
Practical
No frameworks for frameworks’ sake. If it doesn’t help the business, we don’t do it.
Transparent
You get candid assessment, clear recommendations, and immediate next steps.
Systemic
Quality and productivity live in the system, not the individuals. I help you fix the system.
Who I Work With
I partner with:
CTOs and VPs of Engineering (100–5000 person orgs)
Heads of Platform Engineering
Leaders responsible for developer experience
Organizations building or scaling engineering teams
Leaders navigating difficult org change
If you value curiosity over certainty, continuous improvement over control, and transparency over politics, we’ll work well together.
