I have been the head of software for a green tech company with 150 employees, making sure we improve our ways of working and practices. I was also responsible for transforming their project-based teams into product align teams by understanding the entire company process and reorganizing teams to their nearest vertical value stream, I also defined and agreed an architectural roadmap of transformation.
Furthermore, I am an Open-Source lover, always looking to share ideas & knowledge. I write a weekly newsletter on engineering strategy and also post on LinkedIn daily.

Breaking the Chains: Rethinking Peer Reviews in the Workplace
The ubiquitous use of pull requests in office environments has proven valuable for managing and reviewing code changes. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that overdependence on pull requests can hamper performance and hinder the development experience. This presentation seeks to unravel the challenges associated with excessive pull request reliance and proposes alternative strategies that foster efficiency, collaboration, and code quality.
Drawing from key issues such as context switching, communication bottlenecks, and weakened collective code ownership, this talk unveils the need for reinventing office pull request culture. A comparative analysis of methodologies, including Trunk Based Development, Pair Programming, and Mob Programming, will highlight the benefits of fostering more direct collaboration and continuous integration.

Streaming Success: Optimizing DORA Metrics through Comprehensive Software Development Practices
In an ever-evolving market, high-performance software development teams continually seek ways to deliver value and quality to end-users. This presentation examines the positive impact of well-rounded development practices, spanning from code generation to real-world software usage, on the DORA (Deployment, Operability, Resilience, and Availability) metrics, a set of key indicators for software performance.
The talk investigates the organic progression of code development into functional software, exploring the symbiotic relationship between each stage and how they contribute to a high-performing development pipeline. Various aspects, including robust coding practices, effective collaboration, seamless integration, comprehensive testing, and streamlined deployments, contribute to this fluid process.
Compelling examples and case studies throughout the presentation demonstrate the link between a well-rounded, flowing software development process and improved DORA metrics. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how their teams can embrace this interconnected approach, driving continuous value delivery and achieving exceptional performance in the software development landscape.

Leveraging Conway's Law to Harmonize User Value & Architecture
We delve into the concept of Conway's Law, which states that an organization's design will inevitably reflect the communication structure of the organization itself. While there is substantial literature exploring Conway's Law and the Inverse Conway Maneuver, there is a noticeable lack of conversation about how to extract user value from these concepts.
We will delve into how we can align our Architecture, teams, and communication channels to focus on delivering user value, enabling us to create products that better meet our users' needs and expectations.
