summary
Work history spans five countries and teams ranging from a seven-person indie to an 80-person team, hiring hundreds and firing about 50, proving culture trumps individual talent. Uses JIRA or post‑its pragmatically, enforces one-on-ones 15 minutes and daily standups, runs retrospectives, team lunches, game jams and a team wall for ownership. Focuses on aligning a clear metric (examples: top‑10, revenue, or 1M dollar‑a‑day target), adapting communication across languages, and turning complaints into actionable fixes.
