Mentoring Co-located Teams

June 15, 2016

I’ve started as a technical lead and mentor to a team of developers co-located in the US and London. The company is a Fortune 500 company who are clearly investing in tech and have a hunger for innovation–so I’m really excited about being involved and where this team will go!

There are some clear challenges here. The biggest will be working with co-located teams whilst being based in Bath. On the face of it, this separation might seem counter-productive, however I am reserving judgement till a later date as I’m starting to see some big advantages as well. Let’s consider a couple now.

Arrow Electronics The Global Component Provider

January 8, 2016

Last year I had the pleasure to work as a UI Lead for The BIO Agency and Arrow Electronics. I joined the project a few months in to help the existing 8 Frontend developers and fair few other team members across their disciplines with FE code architecture and in turn support Arrow’s growing team in Denver, Colorado.

We had a great relationship with the team at Arrow. I had never heard of them before, so it was interesting to hear that many of the electronic products we use day to day have probably had parts supplied by them.
