Expertise
Technical leadership
Roadmaps that balance research risk with delivery; mentoring engineers and aligning stakeholders.
Overview
Leadership here means making technical risk legible: what we’re betting on, what we’re deferring, and how we’ll know if we’re wrong. I’m comfortable translating between ICs, product, and execs without diluting the engineering truth.
Typical engagements
- Roadmaps that tie research spikes to delivery milestones.
- Architecture reviews and RFCs that actually get read.
- Hiring loops, leveling, and mentorship so teams compound.
- Executive updates that focus on outcomes and trade-offs, not buzzwords.
How I work
- Write decisions down — ambiguity is expensive at scale.
- Protect focus: fewer parallel bets; finish hardening before the next big swing.
- Create space for junior growth without sacrificing production quality.
