My name is Scott Drake. My 25+ year career in tech includes stops at Microsoft in Redmond, WA, at Silicon Valley startups, and I have more than 15 years of consulting experience. Today, I help organizations of all shapes and sizes solve tough problems and grow.
When tech projects are late, not meeting business needs, or quality drops, it usually means resources are in short supply. I work with companies to solve three types of problems.
Software Team Building: Hiring software engineers is time consuming and high-risk. Many teams are too busy or don’t hire often enough to do it well. I bring the process, structure, and know-how to build happy and high-performing teams.
Project Turnarounds: More than half of projects go sideways at some point and can use a fresh set of eyes and hands. I diagnose problems at every level or stage of a project and help your team get things back on track.
Software Development: Great developers help you decide what to build and how to build it. They are problem solvers who innovate and unlock new capabilities for your business. Great developers can be hard to find, and I still love to step in and do hands-on development work. It's not required, but I enjoy it and am open to it.
Not only is Scott a phenomenal developer, where made an immediate impact, he is a highly skilled strategic thinker and added a lot of value to our management team. He's a planner and a problem-solver. He made an impact on our entire company's culture.
