AI made every individual faster. Your team decides whether that speed compounds.

I work with software teams and their leaders — and with construction, property and industrial firms who are building software in-house for the first time.

30 minutes. No pitch, no deck.

You've probably seen one of these.

The silent standup

Everyone reports. No one talks. It's a calendar item, not a team.

The hero

One brilliant engineer holding the whole thing up. That's a risk, not a strength.

Ten roadmaps

Ten productive people, pulling ten directions at once.

Three ways we could start

Most engagements begin with the review.

Twenty years, five chapters

Games, then payments, then media, then a decade running engineering for construction SaaS — software used to estimate most of the buildings in Australia, where customers phone within 30 seconds of downtime.

I kept a team whole through two changes of ownership, formed an ML team, and spent a year retraining existing engineers for AI. Now I coach teams full time.
