Andy Weir
Engineering Leadership for Scaling Teams

About Me

I’m Andy Weir – a Fractional Engineering Leader helping scale-ups restore pace and predictability when growth outpaces their systems.

I work with scaling organisations where delivery starts to slip, confidence drops, and the system strains under growth. My focus is on stabilising delivery, unblocking decision flow, and embedding sustainable capability that bridges product and engineering.

Over 20+ years, I’ve led delivery across HealthTech, finance, and other complex domains – solving problems where architecture, systems, and team dynamics collide. I operate inside delivery, not outside it – leading from the inside to make change real, practical, and lasting.

When I’m not working on software delivery, I’m skippering Bad Habits – a 28ft racing yacht – or out on the Cornish coast trail running, paddleboarding, or chasing waves. Occasionally, I sit still long enough to read.

Focus

My work focuses on three things:

• Stabilising delivery

  Unblocking decisions, shortening feedback loops, and making releases predictable.

• Bridging product ↔ engineering

  Translating between business goals and delivery reality.

• Building capability that sticks

  Clearer ownership, more reliable systems, and habits that hold under pressure.

My Approach

I don’t lead from a slide deck. I lead from the inside – in code, in standups, and in high-stakes delivery cycles where judgment matters most.

• Fast Flow Under Pressure

  My priority is restoring pace and predictability by shortening feedback loops, clarifying ownership, and unblocking decision flow. My goal is always delivery that holds under pressure – fast, safe, and sustainable.

• Grounded in Practice

  From APIs to pipelines, I bring deep technical grounding – but never for its own sake. It’s always in service of delivery that works, and teams that grow stronger in the process.

• Capability That Sticks

  I’m not a dependency. I lead the change, coach the team, and help you reach the point where you can say: “Thanks – we’ve got it from here”

What’s Next?

If you’re scaling and delivery feels harder than it should, I’m always happy to talk.
