Hi š, I'm Andrew
I am a father of two boys, a husband and a technology leader. I work for Coinrule. We help people automate their crypto trading strategies with a simple and accessible UI.
To build a great product you need a solid technology foundation. Unfortunately that is not sufficient.

Some of my principles š§
People come first.
Your work-life balance, you general health, your satisfaction at work, your feedback.
Focus on quality
Don't get me wrong - quick and dirty has its purpose. If you need to learn, to confirm assumptions, to find the right product market fit, to experiment. But once that phase is over then proper engineering practises must be put in place for sustainability. Engineers need to be proud of what they are building. To be able to sustain change over time we need to constantly refactor to include new learnings, better understanding of the problem, new technologies, new customer trends, etc.
Tech is exciting when is got a purpose
I am product-driven. I am excited to build products that have a purpose and can make a difference to people in some way. We are living in very exciting times. Technology is so accessible, ideas a flowing and anyone has a chance to build something. Execution will be the key to success.

1-2-1
I will have regular catch ups with you. The aim of those sessions is to get to know each other better. They are not status updates. If they start turning into that, we will need to find some better mechanisms to keep me in the loop (emails, reports, etc).
I am much more keen to covers topics like your team, how things are going, how happy you are, your interests, your career development or maybe your weekend or your latest trip or favourite band.
