About

I am an Engineering Leader with over a decade of international experience spanning cloud architecture, AI-driven product development, and technology leadership across financial services, startups, and global tech firms. Currently at Discover Financial Services (now Capital One), I lead cross-functional engineering teams to design and deliver enterprise-scale, AI-enabled, cloud-native solutions that support digital banking transformation. My work matters because financial institutions today face a dual challenge: innovating faster than disruptors while maintaining customer trust and regulatory compliance. I thrive at this intersection—bridging business strategy and technology to build platforms that are not only scalable and secure but also ethically designed and compliant. Over the years, I’ve: - Led the delivery of a Clean Room AdTech framework, improving campaign efficiency by 15% and customer targeting precision by 27%. - Guided cloud migration and AI adoption strategies that reduced operational risk and improved time-to-market for solutions by 30%. - Built and mentored high-performing engineering teams, embedding a culture of agility, innovation, and accountability. Beyond my corporate role, I contribute to society by leading free corporate yoga sessions across the UK and volunteering in environmental initiatives such as Project GreenHands. I believe technology, when applied thoughtfully, can improve both business outcomes and human wellbeing—whether through inclusive financial products or sustainable solutions. I am passionate about driving responsible AI adoption, shaping strategies that balance innovation with governance, and empowering organisations to unlock long-term value through technology.
