Director of Infrastructure Engineering
I build resilient cloud-native systems, lead engineering teams, and contribute to open source. Currently at OpenTeams. Based in Granada, Spain.
An incident always teaches you something. The trick is not learning the wrong lesson. A story about a failed self-service deploy and what it actually proved.
When I first led a team, I made every decision run through me. A manager set me straight: my job was never to make the decisions, it was to make sure decisions got made.
Developer productivity isn't limited by effort or typing speed. It's limited by how much an engineer can hold in their head at once, and protecting that is most of the job.
