Strategic Technology Leader
David Royes
I figure out the right thing to build —
and then I build it.
Selected Work
What I Build
Every project starts with the same question: what's the real problem? The build comes after the thinking.
How I Lead
Build the Team. Find the Problem. Ship the Solution.
I grew my team from 4 to 9 people, hiring for potential and investing in development. One direct report was promoted to management on my recommendation. Great outcomes start with people who trust each other and feel empowered to own their work.
Every solution starts with listening. I sit with stakeholders, understand their real problem — not just the one they described — and design backward from the outcome. The discovery phase is where the real value is created.
7 production solutions in 6 months. I don't wait for permission to create value. When you've done the thinking upfront and you have the right people, execution becomes the straightforward part.
