Engineering leadership
Multi-team engineering that delivers what it plans.
I have led engineers, QA and product owners on complex SaaS products, from the database to the user interface.
What I bring
- Leadership of multi-team organizations, including the two highest-revenue product teams at Deposco.
- Structure for ambiguous requirements: clear plans, and alignment between product, engineering and QA.
- Better planning, clear ownership expectations and consistent execution that raise output and predictability.
- Standardized promotion plans and career paths for engineers and engineering leaders.
- Coaching for engineers and team leads.
- Support for principal engineers: architectural clarity and stronger design reviews across teams.
How the work runs
- A ticket-first pull request workflow, with sync checks before branching.
- Release-readiness and release-notes practice behind a weekly release cadence.
- Architecture patterns and playbooks for web, mobile, backend-for-frontend and microservice changes, with contracts agreed first and clear done gates.
- A black-box integration and UI test platform for live runs against the development environment.
- A fleet-wide program for Java framework upgrades, with ownership classification, scanning and verification.
