Practical lessons from building software, leading engineering teams, and navigating change.
I'm Konrad Piascik, an engineering leader and conference speaker. I write about the challenges that engineering leaders face as teams, organizations, and the technology they build continue to change.
I've spent my career building software and leading engineering organizations across web, mobile, embedded, and cloud technologies.
My work has included building and scaling distributed teams, working with external partners, navigating organizational change, and helping engineering organizations adopt new technologies and ways of working.
I'm particularly interested in the intersection of engineering leadership and technology: how leaders structure teams, make decisions, measure effectiveness, and adapt as the technology landscape changes.
Practical observations from engineering leadership and technology.
Building effective engineering organizations, managing teams, developing leaders, and communicating with executives.
Restructuring teams, distributed organizations, vendors, priorities, and maintaining engineering effectiveness through change.
AI-assisted development, engineering productivity, agentic workflows, and how AI is changing the role of engineering leaders.
Talks and presentations from my work in software engineering and emerging technology.
