About Me
I’m Andy Weir — a fractional technical leader focused on fixing the delivery friction that slows teams down as they grow.
I help engineering leaders scale from one team to four by uncovering what’s really stalling momentum — then leading the shift to sustainable fast flow, from the inside.
Over 20+ years, I’ve worked across HealthTech, retail, travel, and regulated industries — solving delivery problems where architecture, systems, and team dynamics collide. My work happens inside the team: unblocking, aligning, and building capability that sticks.
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.
Experience
I work with organisations facing delivery drag, legacy risk, and complex team dynamics. From legacy modernisation to platform design, I help teams ship safely, not slowly.
Modernising Legacy Systems
I lead incremental change in high-risk environments — breaking down fragile monoliths, simplifying architectures, and reducing risk without disrupting flow.
Reducing Delivery Friction
I improve feedback loops, clarify ownership, and help teams move from firefighting to focus — so delivery becomes calm, fast, and predictable.
Aligning Tech with Outcomes
I work with engineers, architects, and leaders to make delivery serve the real goals — not just the roadmap. That means technical decisions that hold under pressure, and change that makes sense on the ground.
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
I focus on traction, not theatre. Whether I’m running a 5-day Friction Index or embedding inside a platform team, I’m there to help teams move faster and safer.
Grounded in Practice
From APIs to pipelines, I bring deep technical foundations — but it’s never tech for its own sake. It’s always in service of delivery that works, and teams that don’t burn out.
Capability That Sticks
I’m not a dependency. I lead the change, coach the team, and work myself out of the job — with capability that lasts after I’ve stepped back.
