ABOUT CONNOR FORSYTH
I am a Product-focused Engineering Leader comfortable taking vague ideas from inception through to delivery in startup and scaleup environments. With over 10 years of experience across full stack engineering and DevOps, I am able to build products from scratch or transform legacy technology by staying grounded and hands-on in the detail. I also develop systems-level organisational processes that transform underperforming teams into outcome-focused product engineering groups.My passion is for building exceptional products and delivering value to customers, having worked with multiple product-focused SaaS startups across different industries, and co-founding several myself. I partner closely with Product to align engineering priorities with customer and business impact.I have- Led a multi-team transformation post-acquisition, rebuilding engineering culture, reduced alert volume from hundreds to single digits, and restored delivery confidence- Modernised QA defect resolution to balance speed with reliability across five business functions, anchored on successful customer outcomes- Built and scaled multiple SaaS platforms end-to-end across AdTech, IoT, and safety tech- Introduced team values, performance frameworks, and technical strategy that sets the foundation for multi-team transformation- Hired and performance managed multiple teams with individual career pathways, interview process design, and carefully detailed coaching and mentorship to bring the best out of each individual.I thrive where technical excellence and human leadership overlap, and can adapt and grow quickly to new challenges. I lead with confidence, seek input from others, and build environments where people grow into independent Product Engineers.I have delivered products in a multitude of tech stacks including: TypeScript (NestJS, Vue.js, React.js), Node, Python (FastAPI & Django), PHP (Laravel & Symfony), AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform.I believe the best engineering cultures are built on product craftsmanship, first-principles thinking, ownership, clarity, and trust.
