Hello, I'm Iain 
I'm an Engineering Manager working at Unity. I previously worked at ClickTravel (acquired by TravelPerk) as a Senior Software Engineer, Skyscanner as a Software Engineer in Growth and with Birdi (acquired by Zonda) as an Agile Coach.
I care deeply about people and tech. I'm enjoying this opportunity to build a great team, to set them up for success and to give them opportunities to grow and develop.
I'm mostly writing about engineering management, software development, and a select few semi-related topics. Ultimately I'm writing for myself, but I hope you get something from it too.
