About
Fractional Engineering Leadership
Fractional Engineering Leadership is dedicated to guiding startups in key non-product areas of engineering, e.g. tooling, developer productivity, engineer career development. I focus on building a strong, efficient team culture and driving organizational success. My work is distinct from a traditional Fractional CTO in that your existing technical leadership remains focused on building an incredible product while I aim to help you scale efficiently, ensuring a well-structured, high-performing engineering culture.
Dr. Paul Finlayson Adams
I am a software engineer and engineering manager with over 20 years of experience. I have worked with everything from startup to enterprise. Whether leading 5 or 105 engineers, my focus has always been on helping the team perform its best and build a product which delights the user.
I am a firm believer in the power of building strong culture in engineering teams. I focus on agility and continuous delivery, supported by servant leadership. I also have a particular specialism in remote engineering teams and how to empower them to productivity... The subject of my PhD.
Overview
I provide engineering management services to technology startups pushing for growth but without the capacity for a full-time manager. I provide strategic support to CTOs and practical, hands-on assistance to teams of software engineers.
Background
I established Baggerspion having spent over 20 years working as an engineer and engineering manager in both startups and enterprises. I wanted to support startup growth by providing engineering management to companies which have yet to achieve the scale to support a full-time manager.
