👋 Welcome
This site is my field notebook — part reflections, part receipts — on how engineering leadership actually works in the wild.
If you’ve only seen my LinkedIn teasers, this is where you’ll find the unpolished, longer thoughts that didn’t fit there.
🧭 What You’ll Find
Leadership Practices
Stories from the trenches — like Boss’s Shift and Away Mission — about staying connected to the work and keeping teams sane.
Platform & Developer Experience
Notes on building paved roads, internal portals, and frameworks that make engineers faster without turning them into process zombies.
FinOps & Value Thinking
My approach to cost, capability, and credibility. Frameworks like Cloud Efficiency Index (CEI) and Application Cost Index (ACI) come from hard-won experience, not theory.
Culture & Org Design
How incentives, process, and abstraction leaks shape what engineers actually do.
🧩 Recommended Reading Order
If you only read three posts:
- Boss’s Shift — why leaders should occasionally do the work.
- Portal ≠ Product — lessons from platform adoption gone wrong.
- Leaky Abstractions in Org Design — how structure and systems mirror each other.
✍️ How I Write
I publish here first, then share shorter reflections on LinkedIn.
Everything is written in the open, revised in public, and occasionally contradicted by my future self. That’s the point.

Thanks for stopping by — start with one post, not all eight. The rest will find you when you need them.
