My experience speaking at LeadDev Meetup,Amsterdam

Excited to share that this week I had the opportunity to speak at the upcoming LeadDev Meetup Amsterdam, sponsored by Picnic Technologies and CircleCI 🚀

🦄 Having participated in LeadDev panels and online events in the past, it felt especially meaningful to now join the community in-person here in Amsterdam.

The evening brought together an incredible mix of engineering leaders, managers, and software professionals — all passionate about building better teams, stronger engineering cultures, and more thoughtful leadership practices.

💫 And what a setting it was!

A packed room, engaging conversations, a warm atmosphere hosted beautifully by Picnic Technologies, and a lineup of insightful talks that made the entire event energizing and inspiring.

My talk for the evening was:

🌊 “Navigating the Agile Seas: Program Management in Startup Waters”

In the session, I shared some of my learnings and experiences around:

🔹 Leading programs in fast-moving startup environments

🔹 Balancing agility with structure and predictability

🔹 Building resilient teams amidst constant change

🔹 Navigating uncertainty while still delivering value at scale

🪴 One of the best parts of speaking at events like these is always the conversations afterward — hearing different perspectives, exchanging ideas, and connecting with people who are equally passionate about Agile leadership and engineering culture.

💜A huge thank you to the LeadDev community, the organizers, sponsors and everyone who attended and engaged so openly during the session.

Thrilled to see my name in print — in German!

Thrilled to see my name in print — in German!! 🇩🇪📖

When I first wrote this article on Continuous Testing in Agile—highlighting the need to balance speed with quality, and keep the “wheels of testing” running—I had no idea it would travel this far.
But today, I’m proud to share that my work has been published in the print edition of Entwickler.de, one of Germany’s most respected tech magazines! 🎉

Originally written in English and translated by the amazing editorial team, the article is titled:
🔍 “Die Räder des Testens am Laufen halten”
(“Keeping the Wheels of Testing Running”)
— and dives deep into how Agile teams can stay efficient and resilient with continuous testing strategies, even in fast-paced delivery cycles.

🧪 From quality thinking to adaptive test environments, the article covers the mindset and methods teams need to deliver great software, consistently.

💜 A big thank you to the Entwickler.de team for beautifully presenting the article and sending me a print copy that I’ll treasure.
🙏 And a warm shoutout to the Devmio team as well for our collaboration and continued support in sharing meaningful conversations around DevOps and Quality at Scale.

Here’s to celebrating small wins, sharing knowledge, and seeing our ideas come to life across borders and languages! 🌍✍️
