Event description

Pragmatic Technical Leadership - with Christian Schipani - Software Team Lead, Urban Intelligence


This talk aims to be relevant and actionable for both software engineers and leaders working with technical teams, exploring the intersection of engineering practice and technical leadership.

Some of the topics include managing technical teams as an individual contributor while working reduced hours, encouraging healthy personal responsibility, and focusing on outputs over process.

Christian will share thoughts on shaping work without managing people, pragmatic programming, lessons from Shape Up, and how we might reconsider the way we build software, especially when its lifespan is shorter than we like to admit.

About Christian:
Christian is a staff software engineer with a strong focus on mentoring, user and developer experience, and delivering real business value. A couple of years ago, he left the United States in search of adventure and found it in New Zealand, along with a role leading software engineering at a passionate startup in the climate and risk science space.
