About this book

Everything You Need to Know about Tech Leadership Playbook

With 14+ years of experience in both startups and large corporations, I’ve rarely encountered companies that employ structured, best-practice-driven teams. Too often, teams face common, avoidable issues due to the lack of adherence to established standards and principles.

This book is designed to fill that gap and equip leaders with the insights and tools necessary to build and manage high-performing software development teams. Whether it’s assembling strong teams, mastering project management, ensuring code quality, or aligning tech with business goals, Tech Leadership Playbook offers actionable strategies that can be applied immediately.

Inside, you’ll find:

How to build and lead high-performance teams
Project management tips tailored to tech
Best practices for code quality and software architecture
Navigating the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Embracing quality assurance and observability practices
Aligning technology strategies with business goals

This isn’t just theory—it’s based on real-world challenges and solutions that I’ve encountered throughout my career as a principal engineer, team lead, and engineering manager.

Whether you’re forming a new team, scaling an existing one, or striving to improve your team’s performance, Tech Leadership Playbook will be your go-to guide for navigating these challenges and more.

I’m excited to share this journey with you, and I hope this book adds value to all the leaders looking to take their teams to the next level.
