Services

My services are designed as a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment process for your organization's socio-technical system. We move beyond surface-level symptoms and best-practice playbooks to address the underlying structures that determine your team's effectiveness and your product's success. Each engagement is tailored, but the focus is always on building internal capability, not creating dependency.

Systemic Technology Strategy

Technology doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is a direct reflection of your organization's structure, communication patterns, and unspoken assumptions (Conway's Law). My approach treats technology strategy as an exercise in systemic design, focusing on creating architectures that are not only technically sound but are also resilient to organizational entropy and cognitive overload.

  • Diagnosing Architectural Constraints & System Boundaries
  • Aligning Technical Debt with Business Strategy
  • Developing First-Principles Decision Frameworks for Technology Choices
  • Mapping and Mitigating Systemic Risks (Security, Compliance, Scalability

Organizational Diagnosis & Design

The most common failure mode for scaling companies is the breakdown of their human systems. I use diagnostic tools to surface the hidden feedback loops, incentive misalignments, and communication bottlenecks that stifle growth. We then co-design an organizational structure and leadership model that fosters intellectual rigor, psychological safety, and clear accountability.

  • Mapping Information Flow & Decision-Making Pathways
  • Designing Career Ladders and Incentive Structures for Integrity
  • Implementing Leadership Protocols for Candor & Accountability
  • Mentoring and Coaching for High-Stakes Leadership

First-Principles Product

Product strategy often decays into a series of feature requests and political compromises. We will reset that process by returning to first principles: What is the fundamental, non-negotiable truth of the problem you are solving? This clarity becomes the foundation for a ruthless prioritization framework, a coherent roadmap, and a product development lifecycle that is driven by learning, not just shipping.

  • Establishing a First-Principles Vision & Strategy
  • Developing Anti-Roadmaps & Ruthless Prioritization Models
  • Instrumenting the Product for Rapid Learning & Validation
  • Aligning Product, Engineering, and Go-to-Market Systems

Resilient Operating Rhythms

"Agile" has become a stand-in for chaos at many companies. I help teams move beyond dogmatic rituals to design a bespoke "operating rhythm," a simple, clear, and sustainable system for planning, executing, and learning. The goal is to reduce cognitive overhead, increase meaningful communication, and make the act of building software less frantic and more deliberate.

  • Designing Deliberate Planning & Review Cycles
  • Implementing Quality as a Systemic Function, Not a Department
  • Streamlining Deployment Systems for Safety and Speed
  • Creating Transparent Rituals for Feedback and Learning
