I, Joel Chippindale, post to this blog very occasionally to mostly share my half formed reckons about software development and teams.

I am an engineering leadership coach and advisor.

I have been making mistakes and learning about managing and scaling software development teams for the last 20 years.

My previous roles include Chief Technology Officer roles at Unmade, FutureLearn and Econsultancy where I have been lucky enough to have worked with teams of people who are all much nicer and smarter than me. I spent most of my time in these roles exclaiming ‘woohoo’ and giving enthusiastic thumbs ups during meetings.
