A logbook on engineering leadership, hiring, AI in the toolchain, and the things you only think clearly about above the bushline. Co-founder & CTO at Scannable.
A small, slow blog from Queenstown, NZ. I write between releases — mostly engineering leadership, hiring, AI in the toolchain, and the occasional thing about training for a marathon.
Co-founder & CTO at Scannable — software for safety teams managing PPE in the field. Remote, distributed, mostly in mountain towns.
Leadership · high-performing teams · AI for engineers · building products customers love · the odd personal essay when a long run produces one worth writing down.

Notes on what I'm working through that fortnight — usually one engineering thought, one team thought, and one trail thought. No tracking, no funnel, no “as a thank-you.”
Two weeks out from the Queenstown Marathon, three things on my mind: the cost of pushing too hard in week eleven, what I'm pulling out of one-on-ones this cycle, and a small note on how I'm using AI to draft retros.
