Leading means keeping the reasoning visible

People and process: the teams I led, the documentation standard a team of 5 adopted, and the principles behind both.

Principles

  • mentoring

    Mentoring means keeping the reasoning visible, not just the solution.

    I wrote 116 of the 196 RFCs and ADRs of a frontend platform, and mentored a team that grew from 3 to 5–6 engineers.

  • hiring

    A team grows well when whoever leads it helps choose who joins.

    At Centria the frontend team grew from 3 to 5–6 engineers over 4 years, with my input on hiring.

  • decisions

    A decision is written down with its evidence and corrected in public if its premise fails.

    An ADR of mine assumed a premise that turned out false; the next day I corrected it in writing, keeping a record of the mistake.

No demo: every number in this section is real.

Cases

  • Cell lead

    I led a full 4–5 person cell for about 5 months and then supported the new lead.

  • Mentoring and hiring

    A frontend team that grew from 3 to 5–6 engineers over 4 years, with mentoring, technical direction and hiring input.

  • Documentation standard

    RFC → ADR → backend reality → atomic steps, applied to 63 features, adopted by 5 developers and carried over to a second repository.
