Services

I help engineering teams work better (Consulting) and sound human (Writing). From workflow audits to satirical tech storytelling, I bridge the gap between code and culture.

I work with two types of clients:

  1. Engineering Leaders needing to fix broken processes and improve productivity.
  2. Content Teams needing authentic voices to connect with developer audiences.

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.

Engineering Storytelling & Content Strategy

  • Technical blog posts and documentation that engineers actually read.
  • Satirical internal newsletters to boost culture.
  • Ghostwriting for founders and engineers.
  • Case studies and documentation.
