Services

I offer a range of services designed to help you build a more productive, efficient, and engaged engineering team.

Workflow Audits, Investigation, and Automation

I can help you identify workflows that are breaking down due to organizational dysfunction, repetition, and lack of automation.

Workflow Audits

Before:

Teams struggle with repetitive manual tasks, unclear processes, and unnecessary handoffs. Opportunities for improvement are hidden, and it’s difficult to measure what’s working and what isn’t.

After:

Workflow bottlenecks and inefficiencies are uncovered, measurable improvements are identified, and practical solutions are implemented. Teams benefit from streamlined processes, clear documentation, and ongoing support.

Investigation

Before:

No one knows why things are broken. Morale is low, attrition is rising, and employees feel powerless to make change. Processes are tangled in bureaucracy, progress is painfully slow, and dysfunction seems baked into daily operations.

After:

Root causes are identified, communication channels are clarified, and actionable insights are delivered. Teams regain confidence, leadership has a clear path forward, and the organization can focus on meaningful improvements that drive results.

Automation

Before:

Developers waste hours on tasks that could be automated.

After:

Automated solutions free up your team to focus on high-value work.

Developer Experience (DevEx) and Developer Productivity (DevProd) Improvements

Before:

Slow build times, confusing toolchains, scarce documentation, and frustrated engineers.

After:

Optimized developer experience, faster delivery, and happier teams.

Technical & Creative Writing

The written word can have a massive impact on your company, whether it is to share the innovative breathroughs or to improve internal processes.

  • Internal Documentation - Imagine rediscovering and reinventing the wheel every few days. You might laugh, but when there isn't adequate documentation for common processes, that is exactly what happens. Excellent documentation improves processes and opens the door to more effective use of AI.
  • External Documentation - Users do not use products that are hard to use unless they have no other choice. Why introduce additional friction to using your product? Increase sales and conversions by making onboarding as easy as possible.
  • Blogging - If innovation happens and no one hears it, does it happen at all? Ok, ok, sure it does, but if you aren't sharing your successes effectively, you're dropping a massive opportunity to recruit new talent and clients.
  • Technical/Scientific Articles - Similar to above, if the public cannot understand what on Earth you're talking about, how are they going to be informed? I can help you translate complex subjects into entertaining and informative pieces.
