Work with me

I work with CTOs and Heads of Engineering who realised they got slow after long period of growth. I help find the leverage that unblocks the delivery and quality.

Learning ⨉ Systems

What if growth was meant to be easy?

Engineering under pressure is difficult. We have to ship fast, because business needs it. We create technical debt that grows over time until we wake up one morning and realise we can’t do what we could just few years ago.

But it’s not the end of the story. With smart decisions and focusing on the right parts of the delivery process you can deliver faster, even at scale.

It’s all about finding what’s stopping your teams in their tracks and what can you different to enable the flow of work.

Sadowski

Self-taught Head of Engineering and Coach

I’m a software engineer.

I build software for the last 25 years. I started early writing small scripts, doing small freelance gigs before I moved to product engineering and I spent last 11 years working mostly with FinTech in London.

I always focused on systems. I saw first hand how companies rise or fail to the strength of their systems. How the software and people interact with each other makes great companies.

I’m here to help you build systems that last and won’t make you bankrupt. I focus on team dynamics and unit economics to build efficient software and motivated teams.

Before you ask…

Why would I spend more on hiring you?

I will help you make quicker and more confident decisions by removing the internal friction and second-guessing that actually slows your teams down. I reply the same day, so you won’t need to wait a week when you need your answers today.

We’ve tried coaching, how is it different?

I built platforms and led high-performing teams, not a coach who read about software in a book. I understand your constraints. Be it business pressure, regulatory requirements or technical trade-offs you need to make because of your budget. You get pragmatic solutions, not yet another generic framework.

How is it different from consultancy X?

Consultancy X will bring their most junior engineers to learn on your problem. I’ve been on the receiving end of that once. I help you solve your own problems. Your team stays in control and owns the outcome. You get the 25 years of experience without losing autonomy or paying for army of people.

What if our problems are too specific to our situation?

Specific problems is what I solve. I don’t push generic frameworks or best practices that should work. I work in your context, constraints and teams and I find pragmatic way to find what works specifically for you. Every company is different and needs pragmatic solutions.
