Guest writing & collaboration
Let's put something worth reading into the world
I'm open to writing for other platforms and collaborating with teams, publishers, and product companies whose work I can honestly stand behind. If you want technical content that reads like it was written by someone who has actually shipped the thing — reach out.
Guest writing
I write for engineering blogs, developer publications, and technical platforms. Every piece is original, experience-backed, and written from first principles — not recycled from what's already ranking.
Technical deep-dives & tutorials
Long-form articles that walk through a concept, pattern, or technology end-to-end — with real examples, trade-offs, and the decisions behind them. No filler.
Technology comparisons
Side-by-side evaluations of frameworks, tools, or architectural approaches — written from production experience, not spec sheets. I name winners, losers, and the context where each belongs.
Architectural decision records
Narratives around real design decisions: what the problem was, what options were on the table, what was chosen, and what it cost. The kind of reasoning that rarely gets written down.
Case studies
Concrete stories from building and scaling systems — migration paths, scaling crises, org redesigns, and the engineering lessons that came out the other side.
Opinion & perspective pieces
Contrarian or forward-looking takes on engineering culture, tooling trends, AI adoption, and how teams actually work. Grounded in 15+ years of practice, not hype cycles.
Leadership & career articles
For developer-facing publications: what staff+ engineering looks like, how to move into leadership without losing craft, and the gaps no engineering manager course covers.
Topics I write about
I only write within the categories I cover on this platform — the same areas where I have sustained, real-world depth. I won't stretch into topics I can't write with authority.
- Software Architecture
- Technical Leadership
- Developer Productivity
- Career & Life Design
- Quality & Craft

Collaborations
Beyond standalone articles, I'm open to structured partnerships — where I test, evaluate, or write about something I can engage with directly and honestly.
Technology & tool testing
Put a new framework, platform, or infrastructure tool in front of a real workload and I'll write an honest evaluation — what it promised, what it delivered, and who it's actually for.
New library or SDK evaluation
If you're shipping a developer library and want an experienced engineer to stress-test the DX and document their findings, I can turn that into a credible, practical review.
SaaS product reviews
Hands-on write-ups of developer tooling, engineering platforms, and productivity SaaS — from the perspective of someone who has evaluated hundreds of tools for real teams.
Book articles & promotions
If you're an author or publisher behind a technical or engineering leadership book, I can write an article, summary, or key-takeaways piece that gives your book genuine, earned visibility.
Co-authored content
Joint pieces where your domain expertise and my writing combine — useful for companies with strong internal knowledge but limited publishing bandwidth.
Editorial independence — non-negotiable
Every piece I write reflects my honest assessment. I won't write content that obscures trade-offs, overstates capabilities, or reads like a press release. If a product has real weaknesses, I'll say so. If a collaboration requires a predetermined conclusion, it's not a fit.
The same standards that govern this platform apply to everything I write elsewhere. Read the editorial policy.
What makes a good pitch
- A specific topic or angle — not just "can you write about microservices."
- A publication, platform, or audience that's a genuine match for the content.
- Enough context for me to evaluate whether I'm genuinely the right person for it.
- For collaborations: access to the product or material you want me to evaluate.
Send me a pitch
The best way to reach me is a short, specific message on LinkedIn — what you're working on, what you need, and why you think it's a fit. I read everything and respond to the ones that make sense.
