The Engineer as Translator

Great engineers don’t just understand systems. They help people understand each other.

Modern technology is built across boundaries: engineering and product, companies and partners, technical and nontechnical teams, customers and platforms.

Some of the most valuable people in those environments are the ones who can move between those worlds.

Drawing from my experience across software engineering, solutions engineering, product development, and education, I explore why communication, curiosity, and translation are increasingly important engineering skills.
