Spencer
Kitson.
I build the systems money runs on, and write about the parts of the job no one warns you about.
An engineer who grew into leading the people and the direction, not just the code. I write to think clearly in public, and to keep an honest record of what the work teaches me.
Currently CTO at 80eight · Johannesburg
