Hey friends, I'm James Bedford. Welcome to my small corner of the internet.

I am a UK based engineering leader. Currently I work at Attest↗ and previously have been at companies such as Monzo↗ and Mango↗.

My work revolves around coaching engineers to allow them to do their best work and achieve their full potential, as well as growing performant and diverse engineering teams. I broke into tech after career switching in my late twenties and I feel passionate about promoting inclusivity in software and helping others from untraditional backgrounds to join the industry.

My goal is to help people grow and flourish as software engineers, and I do this through my essays and coaching calls. You can also sign up to my newsletter below, I send out regular updates on content I am creating as well as sharing resources I have found useful.
