The Journey of a Corporate Architect

Follow Adrian's chaotic path as he tests every system imaginable:

  • The First Hack: Learn how a childhood obsession with perfection led to hacking the social hierarchy of a primary school and engineering a deliberate failure on a French exam to manage the stakes.
  • The Wild West: Experience the intensity of the startup wars4. Discover how the author earned his infamous IRC handle ATM and accidentally created a new industry by exploiting an undocumented feature on an ADSL modem.
  • The Brutal Lesson: Witness the shocking m-vending machine failure that drove him back to university to get an MBA. He returned with the ultimate strategic weapon: a financial formula (ROISI) for valuing information security.
  • The System Shock: Experience the life-changing trauma of a near-fatal work accident and the ultimate system shock: the birth of identical triplets, which forced him to master the art of work-life balance.
  • The Pinnacle: See how he applied his philosophy-the RAIP model for resilient teams-to corporate turnarounds and advisory work at a Big Four firm.
The Takeaway: How to Build Your Own Code

Diary of an IT Madman is for the young engineer, the restless strategist, and the leader who wants a blueprint for a resilient career.
