About
Brian Graham has been writing code since he was seven, professionally since 2010. He moved into architecture and team leadership around 2017 and has worked independently as Building Better Teams since 2022, training and coaching engineering teams and their leaders.
The thread through all of it: feedback loops drive value. Deployment pipelines that ship ten times a day. Bots deploying to production unsupervised. Teams measuring what they're doing and adjusting. He's a Team Topologies Advocate, focused on how team structure shapes what teams can build.
Then agentic loops showed up: a new sort of machine, and more noise in the signal than ever. Helping teams ship faster didn't stop mattering. If anything it matters more now.
