Hello, I'm Martin.
For years, I've been in the trenches, guiding engineering and product leaders as they build high-impact organizations. And through all those conversations, I've noticed the same frustrations keep coming up. We're all drowning in data but starving for clarity. We're investing millions in AI but are paralyzed by a fundamental lack of trust.
My Biased Read is my public notebook for tackling these hard problems.
I believe the most valuable asset a leader has is a clear point of view. But a real POV isn't just an opinion; it's forged in the messy reality of execution, shaped by what actually works, and stress-tested by honest debate. For me, I write to think. This publication is where I deconstruct the challenges I see every day and share my personal frameworks for navigating them.
What to Expect Here
This isn't another tech news summary. My promise to you is a focused, unfiltered perspective on what it takes to build and lead effectively in the data and AI era. You can expect:
Actionable Frameworks & Mental Models: I introduce and break down concepts like "Trust-Driven Architecture," "Data Effectiveness," and the "Rule of 100"—practical playbooks you can apply to your own teams and strategies.
An Unfiltered Read on Industry Trends: We'll go beyond the press releases. I'll share my take on what the moves from major players like Snowflake, Databricks, and Apple actually mean for us as practitioners.
Hard-Won Lessons on Leadership & Execution: We'll explore the real-world challenges of building high-performing teams, from whether engineering managers should code to architecting a culture that balances innovation with operational excellence.
Who This Is For
If you're a data leader, engineering manager, product manager, or architect responsible for not just building technology but also delivering business impact, you're in the right place. This is for the leaders who believe that focus is a superpower and that trust is the ultimate engine of execution.
