Optimize your SDLC for rapid Product Discovery.
Embrace the true Agile, not just Scrum.
Is this you?
You’re a founder, director, or product leader with:
PMF locked in — but shipping feels sluggish
20–50 people, growing fast, but engineering’s cracking
3–10 engineers without clean delivery pipelines
Tech debt from MVP days that’s now dragging growth
You have traction.
When Engineering Lags, Growth Stalls
Slow deploys
Manual testing / flaky automation
Long-lived branches / merge conflicts
No CI/CD or trunk-based flow
Bugs hard to reproduce
Poor test coverage
Fewer product experiments
Delayed releases
Features ship late
Slow feedback
Dev time lost debugging
Fear of changes
These aren’t dev team issues — they’re growth killers hiding in your codebase.
Scrum promised speed, but didn't deliver
You adopted Agile to move faster.
Scrum without strong engineering practices is just busywork in sprints.
Standups. Story points. Sprint demos… but no real acceleration.
DevOps promised agility — But Was Misunderstood
You invested in DevOps hoping for velocity and stability. But all you got was a few Docker containers and a Jenkins pipeline.
Real DevOps means:
Collaboration between Dev + Ops + Product
Automating pain points end-to-end
Feedback loops measured in minutes, not days
How We Fix It — and What You Gain.
CI/CD → Ship anytime,
without fear
Trunk-Based Development → No more painful merges
XP Techniques & Pairing → Shared knowledge, fewer silos
Feature Flags → Easy experimentation
Right-Sized Test Strategy → Faster, more reliable feedback
Before
Releases every 2–3 weeks
Late-stage bug hunts
Manual QA delays
Devs afraid to change code
After
Push to prod 5–10× per week
Automated, reliable test suite
Confident teams making fast bets
Happier customers — and engineers

About Me
I'm Max Piechota, a senior software engineer and product-focused architect with 10+ years of experience helping startups and scale-ups ship faster without breaking things.
I've led teams through the messy middle — from MVP tech debt to scalable, testable systems — by introducing modern engineering practices like trunk-based development, CI/CD, and test-driven workflows.
Now, I work with high-growth teams to remove friction, build engineering confidence, and turn slow, risky deploys into fast, reliable delivery pipelines.
