You lead teams not by hovering, but by making people want to build something ambitious with you. This isn't your typical architecture team, and that's the point. We're not a group of theorists sketching diagrams from a tower somewhere above the actual work — we're builders who happen to also think in systems. We prototype, we get our hands dirty with bleeding-edge tech, and we measure our ideas by whether they actually
