Reading List

Books that shaped me

Not just books I've read — books I return to. Each one left a dent in how I think, build, and lead.

Purpose

"People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe."

Start With Why

Simon Sinek

Reshaped how I communicate my work — I lead with purpose, not just output.

Humility

"Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, your worst enemy already lives inside you: your ego."

Ego Is the Enemy

Ryan Holiday

A constant check on pride — especially when shipping something I'm proud of.

Systems

"If you get 1% better every day for one year, you'll end up 37 times better by the time you're done."

Atomic Habits

James Clear

Consistency over intensity. Small daily improvements compound into results that feel impossible at the start.

Resilience

"Toughness isn't about suppressing discomfort. It's about accepting reality and doing the work anyway."

Do Hard Things

Steve Magness

Taught me to stop waiting for the right conditions and just start building.

Stoicism

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."

The Obstacle Is the Way

Ryan Holiday

Changed how I see bugs and blockers — every hard problem is a chance to level up.

Focus

"The less energy we waste on panic and anxiety, the more we have to direct toward solving problems."

Stillness Is the Key

Ryan Holiday

Grounds me during high-pressure sprints, production incidents, and tight deadlines.

Leadership

"Leadership is not a rank or a title. It is a choice — the choice to look after the person to the left and the person to the right."

Leaders Eat Last

Simon Sinek

Defines how I show up in team settings — serving before seeking recognition.
