Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdams Laborde is a senior engineering process leader with a decade of experience optimizing Agile teams and tooling to let engineers focus on customer problems while preserving SOC2 and ISO-27001 compliance. At AlertMedia he scaled processes from a few small teams to dozens of teams, migrating workstreams to individual Jira projects and building 100+ automation rules to minimize administrative overhead. He blends hands-on technical chops (self-taught Python and early data engineering work) with deep process design, having implemented engineering metrics (DX) and customer feedback systems (Canny) tied to measurable outcomes like ARR and DORA. His background in linguistics and teaching informs a systematic, human-centered approach to process — he once built a concordancer for prepositional phrases before pivoting to tech. Comfortable in customer-facing and technical roles, he excels at turning qualitative engineer sentiment and quantitative metrics into targeted optimizations that raise developer satisfaction and product delivery performance. Based in Austin, he brings rare cross-domain rigor: academic discipline, data-driven tooling, and pragmatic delivery at scale.
