Mark Rabey

Hi, I'm Mark Rabey

I help teams deliver better software, grow stronger engineers, and navigate the chaos of tech with purpose.

About Me

Leading Teams, Not Just Code

I help engineers grow, navigate challenges, and deliver results without losing their sanity - or their curiosity. From mentoring and career coaching to shaping processes that actually work, I focus on building teams that thrive, not just survive.

Beyond the Tech

When I'm not helping teams tackle complex problems, I'm thinking about how to make work more human. That could mean improving cross-team collaboration, rethinking hiring and onboarding, or just figuring out how to make feedback less scary and more useful.
