I have been a senior engineer for many years. I also help companies lead their tech teams. Engineering leadership is hard. I know this from my own work. You might be a developer who wants to become a leader. Or you might be a founder who needs to guide your team. This category is for you.
Here I share what I learned about leading engineering teams. The articles cover real problems. For example, why internal dev teams break support tools. Or why your ops team misses deadlines. I also talk about hiring the right people. You will read about fractional CTO services. That is when you get a part-time technology leader. This can save you money and time.
Many articles talk about big mistakes. One mistake is spending too much time hiring a full-time CTO. A virtual CTO can help you faster. Another mistake is using hobbyist dev teams. They might not have the skills you need. I explain how a fractional CTO can fix this.
You will also learn about AI. AI projects need good leadership. If your bank or logistics company uses AI, you need strong governance. I show you how to build that.

Other topics include supply chain AI, neobank products, and fixed price software. I write about these from my experience. I want to help you avoid common mistakes. For example, losing money on a bad software project. Or risking data leaks in AI.
