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.
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!
Upskilling your Team
You may be doing great, but how about a team you largely inherited, and don't necessarily have bandwidth to level up?
Whether with individual coaching, workshops, resources, or consultations - I'm here to multiply your impact through your team. It's the most lasting value you can get!
Experiences
Tech Lead
Built key parts of Chrome Dev Infrastructure during high growth, and re-engineered Google Cloud's integration with Let's Encrypt. Provided technical guidance and review for ~50 contributors.
Tech Lead
Owned an internal job scheduling system (10’000s jobs, 100s users, C++). Optimised key endpoints latency by up to 80% with event-based programming. Reviewed system designs and APIs.
Hiking
I like exploring the countryside, mountains, and cliffs on foot. One of the things I kept from Scouting!
