What I offer
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.
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.
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!
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!
