Hello, I’m Joel.
I love tech. I love helping people with it.
I’m a husband and father, a computer engineer, and a project manager at work. I like riding motorbikes and writing about travel, everyday life and my shower thoughts. Welcome to my own little corner of the internet.
A few parts of my life
Technology
Practical fixes, tools I find useful, and experiments that make life a little easier.
Family and everyday life
I’m a husband and father. I write about everyday life and my shower thoughts.
On two wheels
I like riding motorbikes. I ride an X440.
Faith and community are an important part of my life. I lead a community of young, Christian professionals in Pune.
How I work
I enjoy exploring what technology makes possible, then helping people put it to use. I like sharing that through talks and writing, and connecting technical ideas to practical needs.
A note on being a technical PM
I’ve found that knowing the technology helps a PM ask better questions. It can also be a trap: it’s easy to jump into solving the problem yourself when your job is to help the team solve it.
To me, a PM should bring in the right technical experts to work through the problem, build the plan, and test the scenarios. That leaves the PM room to see the big picture, listen to people, and keep the work moving.
