This SphereCast episode features Adin Heric, Head of Marketing at Sphere, in conversation with Wes Ezzeddine, Director of Engineering at Mamo Pay. Together, they unpack Wes’s journey from early-stage startup environments to leading engineering at a fast-scaling fintech company.
Topics span everything from scaling tech teams in VC-backed vs. revenue-driven startups, to balancing speed with code quality, and how to report technical progress in terms business leaders actually understand.
A major theme in this episode is AI integration in engineering workflows. Wes shares real-world examples of using tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and custom GenAI agents to boost productivity and decision-making.
We explore what the rise of AI, from Sam Altman’s OpenAI to Google Gemini, means for the future of engineering leadership — including the skills developers need to stay relevant in a rapidly shifting landscape.
Whether you're growing your startup from 0 to 1 or scaling a tech team past 100, this episode dives into the practical and strategic sides of AI implementation, team building, and navigating the next era of software development.
