About
July 03, 2024
This blog exists to share engineering lessons, product development insights, and real stories from building and scaling technology in startups. I aim to write with honesty, depth, and practical value — especially for engineers, leaders, and builders in emerging markets.
I started this blog to document my journey as an engineer and a product builder, and to help others navigating similar paths — from writing code, managing teams, to shaping strategy and architecture.
My Approach to Engineering
My writing reflects my approach to engineering, which is grounded in a few key principles:
- Pragmatism and Focus on Outcomes: My philosophy is to "Make it Work, Make it Right, Make it Fast, In That Order", prioritizing immediate value and strategic management of technical debt.
- Customer-Centricity: Understanding customer needs and gathering feedback is crucial for iterating on a product.
- Simplicity: I favor simple and practical solutions over complex and over-engineered ones.
- The Power of Small Wins: Celebrating small achievements is important for maintaining team morale and momentum.
- Continuous Learning: I am a strong advocate for a growth mindset and continuous learning.
- Effective Communication and Leadership: Clear communication and creating a psychologically safe environment are key to a successful team.
- Technical Excellence: A deep understanding of technology is fundamental.
