Hi, I’m Jason Nappier

I’ve spent eighteen years building and leading the teams that ship software, including hiring, organizing, coaching, and running engineering across companies and continents. Along the way I co-founded two software companies and learned the same lesson over and over: what makes an engineering team deliver usually isn’t the technology. It’s the people, the structure, and the leadership around it.

I started Build Tech Better to do that work directly: helping companies build high-performing engineering teams, develop their leaders, and, most recently, cut through the hype to put AI to work in how they build.
