Hi, I’m Maryanne Frake a technology leader with more than two decades of experience building and modernizing enterprise software systems.

Throughout my career I’ve led engineering teams, delivered large-scale platforms, and navigated the complexity that comes with operating critical technology in demanding environments. The work requires clarity, sound judgment, and the ability to guide teams through constant change.

Creativity has always been an important part of how I think and solve problems. Outside of engineering I work with glass art and design, and I’m the creator behind Mother of All Bottles, a small coastal glass studio. For me, creativity and technology are not separate disciplines. Both rely on experimentation, curiosity, and the willingness to build something new.

Mother of All Geeks is where those ideas come together. Here I share practical perspectives on engineering leadership, system modernization, AI adoption, and the realities of leading technical teams through complexity.

If you’re interested in thoughtful leadership, modern engineering practices, and the evolving role of AI in technology organizations, you’re in the right place.
