Engineering Leadership
Leading engineering teams is equal parts strategy, empathy, and communication. Over the past decade I've grown from a first-time manager to Head of Platform Engineering at AutoScout24 and Trader, managing distributed teams across Germany and Canada.
Here I share the lessons I've learned along the way—from crafting a compelling engineering vision and aligning stakeholders, to balancing collaboration with decisive direction. Whether you're a new engineering manager or a seasoned leader looking for fresh perspectives, I hope these posts help you grow.
