How I think, what I work on, what I care about
How I think
Write the trade-off down before debating it. Pick the option, not the position. Re-evaluate on a known interval, not when it hurts.
What I work on
Engineering orgs of 30–70 people. Data platforms the business actually trusts. Performance systems engineers don't dread.
What I'm into
Org topology, lead time as a product metric, calibrated written reviews, and the surprisingly small amount of writing that runs a great team.
I run engineering organizations. The work I find most interesting is the seam between people, systems, and metrics — the place where org design either compounds or quietly breaks the company.
My current scope is a SaaS platform at roughly $20M ARR with teams between 30 and 70 engineers. Before that I led data platform work and performance systems across multiple orgs. The case studies and playbooks on this site are direct reflections of that work.
This site is not a blog and not a CV. It's a structured knowledge hub: a place where I write down the decisions I've made, what worked, what I got wrong, and what I'd do again. If something here is useful to you, that's the point.
Outside of work I'm building Energile, a people and performance platform aimed at engineering leaders who want their reviews, health checks, and topology decisions to live in one calibrated place.
