Building Teams That Ship & Grow
I'm Devon Bleibtrey—a positive realist who thrives on building products that help people and leading the teams that ship them. I believe in struggling well: embracing challenges as opportunities for growth.
My approach to leadership is rooted in clear principles: radical transparency, continuous improvement (Kaizen), and structuring teams for autonomy using Team Topologies.
Foundational Principles
The core beliefs that guide how I build and lead teams
Game Day Mentality
Care. Give a shit. Every second counts.
Show up fully present and prepared. Treat every interaction with the same level of intensity, whether it's a routine standup or a critical launch.
Kaizen
Permanent learning, permanent improvement.
Every iteration serves two purposes: moving closer to goals AND training the system. Embrace the struggle—that's where growth lives.
Team First Topology
One team, one dream, one score.
Build autonomous teams with clear domains, diverse skills, and well-defined interfaces. Use the Inverse Conway Maneuver to achieve desired architectures.
