Engineering / Leadership / Ideas
Hi, I’m Adam. I’m a software engineering leader in financial services, working on everything from modernising established technology to bringing teams together to deliver complex change.
I enjoy solving difficult problems, helping people grow and figuring out how we can do things better. This is where I share some of the ideas, experiences and lessons I’m picking up along the way.
Thinking out loud
Engineering leadership comes with plenty of interesting questions, and not many straightforward answers. I write about the challenges, decisions and ideas that make me stop and think.
Annual reviews should be more than a performance rating. Exploring trajectory, changing expectations and what exceptional contribution really looks like.
A little about me
I lead engineering teams and deliver technology change in complex environments. The most rewarding parts often involve people: helping someone grow, bringing teams together and finding a practical way through a difficult problem.
I’m increasingly interested in the bigger questions too: how we organise engineering, where we invest, and how technology creates value. There’s always something new to figure out.
