Michael Greenspan — CEO
Software engineering is often framed as a technical discipline. But after years working with and managing engineers, I’ve become increasingly interested in something else: the inner game of engineering work. The struggles that don't show up in code reviews or design docs. Self-doubt. Overwhelm. The feeling of knowing you’re capable of more, but not quite being able to access it. These patterns show up especially often in engineers who think differently — including many with ADHD — but they’re far more common than most people realize. Over time I started writing and speaking about these themes, and having deeper conversations with engineers and engineering managers who recognized themselves in them. Those conversations have become some of the most meaningful work I do. Alongside my writing, I work privately with a small number of senior engineers and leaders who want to understand what’s getting in their way and move through it with more clarity and confidence. If something I write resonates strongly with you, feel free to reach out. — Michael
