Much more, including interviews and talks @ https://rickbo.one - Technologist + Leader -I’m a technologist, engineering leader and executive, driven by strategy, execution and culture. I’m impassioned by unifying multiple teams of engineers across various domains and driving them towards strong delivery + technical excellence, while being guided by well-defined principles and purpose. Supplementing my extensive technical experience + capabilities, I rely heavily on my personal reverence for multidisciplinary thinking, empathy, psychology, behavioral science and the human elements of large-scale engineering. - Expertise + Experience -In my career as an engineering leader at Uber and Carta, I’ve led Platform and Infrastructure Engineering organizations. I brought together dozens to hundreds of engineers and multiple teams + suborgs, in highly-collaborative environments, to deliver unified, coherent, holistic solutions for both internal developers and external customers. Bridging the gap not only between the company’s long-term vision and the tangible output of its engineers, but also between the various technical domains within engineering or infrastructure - SRE/reliability, compute, data, developer platform, etc - and empowering all of these individual parts to realize the impact of delivering excellence as a single strategic unit. Executing on this always requires a deep knowledge of organizations + systems, technology, and human behavior - each of which I have a love and affinity for. In my earlier career, as a software engineer at Facebook and Uber, I focused on both reliability and capacity engineering at massive scale, ensuring that critical systems, software and products were able to serve millions of users and billions of requests, while doing so in a cost-effective and efficient manner. This included creation of numerous reliability and forecasting/analytical tools, systems and software - including many relying on data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence.With my expertise and experience, I also spend time consulting, advising & angel investing with private startups – along with coaching their executives – as they face challenges related to strategy, technology, culture and execution.
