Twelve years building web products, including enterprise search for European banking regulators. Now I lead the Tacit Knowledge team at Squirro.
Decide in writing, then ship the whole thing.
I write the trade-offs down before I build, so the team can question the plan instead of just following it. Then I take the work to production: four years owning the search that runs inside European banking regulators, an internal product built end to end, and now organisational memory project at Squirro.
Every engineer owns a product, not a ticket.
I lead a small team of product engineers, and each of them owns a slice end to end: the stakeholders, the scope, the code and what happens after it ships. My job is to hand over areas I used to own, set standards the team can run with on its own, and stay close enough to help without deciding for them.
Quality is a system, not a mood.
Coding agents write a lot of my code now, and nobody can read all of it. So the bar cannot live in my attention. It lives in end-to-end tests that run on every change, coverage gates that block the merge, review on everything, and a shared sandboxed setup so the whole team works the same way. That is how I ship several pull requests a day to production without compromising quality.
