Welcome to Octoshark.

I've been exploring various industries and cultures professionally for over 20 years. I operate at the intersection of product and engineering, bridging the gap between technology and business in organisations of all sizes.

I’m into the chaos, contradictions, and swirling currents that come with trying to build great products and teams. All views expressed are my own. The articles here are based on my experience, but won’t be reflective of my current employer or any individual company. The patterns I write about are global, not local.

Some posts will be polished ideas, others are quick snapshots, while still others will be evolving and iterating on ideas as I think about them. I’m here to learn, as well as to share my reflections and opinions.

Why Octoshark?

The Octoshark is a mythical ship. A place to talk, a place to think. It’s a name that resonates, it’s a little fun, and who hasn’t felt like an eight-legged shark at least once in their lives?

Posts usually go out weekly, and I’ll be thankful for anyone who reads, shares, and engages. If you enjoy navigating the messy, exciting waters of product, engineering, and technology, welcome aboard.
