I'm an engineering manager and tech lead. I've been building software for other people's businesses for 10 years.
My first real project, back in 2016, was a farm management app for agricultural businesses. Since then I've worked on regulatory reporting for banks, healthcare systems, AI tools for vets and therapists, and now a marketplace for booking wedding vendors, where I lead the team.
I still write code most weeks. I've also built teams from scratch and hired more than 20 engineers, so I've seen the job from both sides.
Outside work I contribute to Celery, and I build side projects: Mintvo, an invoicing app for freelancers, and Trusses, a money book for couples who share expenses.
I recently moved to Kuala Lumpur. If you're hiring an engineering lead or building something with AI in it, I'd like to hear about it.
