Leveling Up

(Bluxome Labs : 6/18-7/18)

During the course of June and July 2018, I supported leadership (CTO/VP ENGR/Head of Platform/VP PROD/CEO) around engineering topics such at Brazilian-startup Pipefy around the codebase, Product Engineering, SDLC process, culture, and roadmap(s,) transitioning from a monolith to Service Oriented Architecture, platform strategy, scalability, maintainability, and uptime.

Among other contributions, I:

  • Coached CTO and VP ENGR around operational excellence, particularly thinking in terms of AS-IS versus TO-BE.
  • Introduced idea of maturing IT processes towards forecasting, in particular via a Capacity Plan.
  • Provided thought-leadership around managing remote teams, partly out of own experience, partly as informed by Best Practices.

Results

  • Identified strategies and tactics to qualitatively improve processes.
