About

This site is a collection of practical notes on leadership, technology, business, and the methodologies that connect them. The content is drawn from real-world experience leading teams, building software and technology solutions, and navigating the challenges that come with both.

What You'll Find Here

Leadership

Notes on leadership as a practice, not a title. Topics include values, culture, decision making, and leadership style. Dedicated sections cover people (motivation, retention, goal setting, mentoring, performance), teams (organizational design, scaling, remote work), and hiring (recruiting, interviewing, onboarding).

Technology

Notes on technology with a focus on software (reliability, engineering, architecture, complexity, technical debt, SRE, testing), cybersecurity (program development, industrial cybersecurity, assessments), and AI (including code generation).

Practices and Methodologies

A section on manifestos covering the principles and practices behind DevOps, Agile, and Scrum, as well as information management.

Business

Notes on business fundamentals including industry structure (Porter's Five Forces), product management, service management, and meetings.

Philosophy

The content here favors practical advice over academic theory. Where frameworks and models are referenced, the focus is on how to apply them, not just how to describe them. The goal is to be useful to someone facing a real decision or challenge today.
