For hiring teams

I lead engineering teams that ship to production.

Engineering Lead and senior engineer. Seven years building, five of them shipping production software in TypeScript and Node.js. I own the architecture, run delivery and grow engineers — and I am still the one writing the hard parts.

Scroll — it builds as you go

  • A business runs on it

    Storefront, orders, payments, stock, suppliers, delivery — one platform

  • Leads, and still builds

    I run the team and still write the hard parts

  • Payments that stay correct

    Through retries, duplicates and out-of-order callbacks

Selected work

Three, not thirty. Each one reads as a release: what was broken, what I did, when it went live.

  • 2026

    A retail business needed one system to run on — orders, money, stock, suppliers and delivery — instead of separate tools that disagreed with each other by the end of every day.

    The system the business actually operates on — orders, payments, inventory, fulfilment, suppliers and delivery, in one place that stays correct. Built and maintained over a year, and still mine to look after.

  • 2026

    A client product needed a backend, a back office and a front end delivered together, with quality that did not depend on which engineer happened to pick up the ticket.

    Delivered across backend, back office and front end over fourteen months, with a written QA and testing benchmark the team worked to rather than an informal understanding of done. I remain CTO at Tektariq.

  • 2026

    Clinicians need software that holds patient records correctly, runs a consultation end to end, and loses neither when the network drops halfway through.

    Four surfaces on one record — the clinician EHR, the patient portal, the telehealth consultation and an embeddable widget — built on a shared component system so they stay consistent and cheap to extend.

How I run a team

Four habits, applied the same way whether the team is three people or thirteen.

  1. 01

    Plan

    Work starts from the outcome, not the ticket. I size it with the people who will build it, so estimates come from the team rather than at them.

  2. 02

    Review

    Every change is read by a person before it ships. Review is where engineers get better, so I treat it as teaching time and not as a gate.

  3. 03

    Release

    Small, frequent, reversible. Staging mirrors production, and anything that cannot be rolled back gets a plan before it gets a deploy.

  4. 04

    Grow

    Each engineer owns something real within a month. I hand the hard problems over early, then stay close enough to catch the fall.

Need someone to own engineering?

Twenty minutes is enough to work out whether this is a fit. No deck, no pitch.
