ABOUT AĐRIAN FORD
I build engineering organizations that deliver technical excellence at scale.At Spotify, I lead the teams and technology behind our global catalogs of music, podcasts, audiobooks, and video. We build the systems that ingest, manage, transcode, protect, and deliver content for 600+ million users worldwide.I\'ve spent my career at the intersection of platform engineering, machine learning, and building high-performing teams. From teaching computers to watch TV at Amazon Prime Video, to modernizing engineering systems at Skype, to shipping Windows features used by billions, I solve technically complex problems that require both deep technical expertise and exceptional teams.My focus is building engineering organizations that ship reliable distributed systems at massive scale while maintaining velocity and culture. I\'m passionate about platform thinking, ML/AI applications, systems architecture, and developing engineering leaders who can do the same.I have a background includes a PhD in Digital Imaging Science, multiple patents and industry awards, and two years teaching Computer Science to teenagers (the best reminder that engineering leadership is about enabling others to do their best work).
