Let’s build something worth building

I work with engineering leaders, VPs, and CTOs who want to move beyond the tactical and build organisations that consistently deliver - at pace, with quality, and without burning people out.

How I can help

Whether you need a sounding board, structured assessment, or someone to help land a transformation - here’s how we can work together.

Advisory

Ongoing strategic guidance on engineering operating models, capability maturity, standards, and culture. Good for VPs and engineering directors navigating transformation or scaling challenges.

Engineering Health Check

A structured assessment of your engineering organisation against the C4E model - covering delivery performance, technical health, developer experience, and team culture. Produces a clear, prioritised improvement plan.

Speaking & Workshops

Keynotes and working sessions on BVSSH, engineering excellence, DevOps transformation, and building high-performing cultures. Available for conferences, leadership offsites, and team events.

Coaching

One-to-one and small group coaching for engineering managers, heads of engineering, and technical leads stepping into broader leadership roles.

What to expect

Direct, honest, and grounded in practice. I don’t deal in frameworks for the sake of frameworks. Everything on this site - the standards, the capability model, the playbooks - is material I’ve used in real organisations.

I care about the work. If I don’t think I’m the right fit, I’ll tell you.

Practical over theoretical
Outcomes over outputs
Honest about what takes time
Evidence-based, not anecdote-led
Grounded in BVSSH, DORA, and DevEx
Comfortable challenging assumptions
