Hi, I’m Ryan McCue. With 9+ years of experience in software development and engineering management, I partner with technology leaders like you to help your teams improve performance, efficiency, and sustainability. As a solo consultant, I focus on organizational effectiveness, aligning your technical teams with business goals, smoothing out workflows, and fostering a culture that balances high performance with healthy sustainability.
I believe that efficient, happy development teams build better products. My goal isn’t just to implement processes, but to understand the human factors at play, unlocking your team’s full potential to boost output and innovation without burnout.
My Guiding Principles
These core philosophies guide how I approach every engagement, ensuring we achieve sustainable results:
Performance over Presence: We’ll focus on the results delivered, not just hours clocked. I help teams work smarter, not longer, prioritizing high-impact work.
Efficiency through Empathy: Lasting improvements come from understanding your developers’ day-to-day realities. By listening, we can identify and remove hidden friction points, making work genuinely easier and more effective.
Sustainable Development: Shipping fast shouldn’t mean burning out your team. I champion consistent, sustainable pacing over “crunch culture,” implementing practices that prevent technical debt and create a healthier environment.
Continuous Improvement Mindset: Even great teams can get better. I help instill a culture where feedback and retrospectives lead to ongoing refinement, keeping your team adaptable and always improving.
Align Engineering with Business Goals: Let’s ensure your engineering efforts directly drive what the business needs. I help bridge the gap between technical work and strategic objectives, increasing your team’s impact.
