About
I am a leader and software engineer with a strong passion for open source, where I've contributed as a coach, author, and maintainer. Although I've worked with a wide range of technologies, most of my career has centered on the web, a platform I love because of its portability, accessibility and reach. Over the years I've developed deep expertise in browsers, web standards, and performance, and I've also picked up principles of UX, product thinking, marketing, leadership, and business along the way.
Mentoring less experienced developers naturally led me into management, a path I embraced by studying management, communication, process design, and social psychology, and, most importantly, by gaining extensive hands-on experience. I've learned how to shape effective engineering organisations, from hiring and onboarding to culture and process. Including rolling out change across medium size organisations. While my focus today is leadership, I remain closely connected to technology, currently exploring how to integrate LLMs into engineering workflows and experimenting with Rust and WebAssembly.
