Bedford West

it's me!

Hi! ๐Ÿ™‹ Iโ€™m Bedford (he/him/his). I'm a software engineering leader ๐Ÿ’ป with a particular passion for advancing the developer experience through growth and psychological safety ๐ŸŒฑ.


My philosophy toward engineering is driven whole-heartedly by one simple belief: On a software development team, weโ€™re all learners and weโ€™re all in this together ๐Ÿ‘ช. For me, this means understanding more about what makes engineers engaged, psychologically safe, and fulfilled ๐Ÿ’š. As an engineering leader, this means I do my best to get to know each and every member of my department, understand their motivations, and work tirelessly toward earning their trust and advancing their careers.


In my down time, I enjoy building and expressing my creative side and keeping my tech skills relevant through game development ๐Ÿ‘พ.
