Building

All that's needed is a loud YES and some good BBQ of-course

Team Offsite, Weekly knowledge sessions, shared good practices, and documentation, so what the team learns sticks around.

All that's needed is a loud YES and some good BBQ of-course

The Problem

A small team loses what it knows when people move on, and new joiners take too long to get productive without a shared foundation.

What We Built

Started the weekly knowledge-sharing sessions and set the good practices, conventions, and documentation that give new joiners a foundation and make it easier to change how the team works later.

Numbers We Moved

8x20x20 yes/day: № of YES

More in this section

Running several projects end to end
Project lead on most of what Bliro ships beyond the desktop app: billing and entitlements, usage tracking, compliant voice recognition, the internal system, and the work that makes the product enterprise ready.
Rebuilding the desktop platform
Platform owner for the desktop app: the audio engine, the transcription socket, the release process, and the telemetry loop that decides what we build next.
No hike ever brought the team down, specially in Tech
Team Offsite, Weekly knowledge sessions, shared good practices, and documentation, so what the team learns sticks around.
Billing and the backend building blocks
Beyond the desktop app: the billing system and the core backend pieces the product quietly runs on.
An internal system to run the daily work
An internal system that lets the team manage the data and clear the repetitive parts of their day far faster, and far more predictably.
Maintenance, handed to an agent
An agentic workflow does the maintenance, end to end. 100% agent work, 100% human supervision: it does, we approve.
