About

Product & Technology leader with 14+ years of experience building and scaling commercial digital products in early-stage and growth environments. I work with founders and leadership teams to turn validated ideas into production-ready systems, align technology with business goals, and establish execution frameworks that scale without unnecessary complexity. I have led engineering organisations of up to 50+ people, delivered over 60 commercial products across AI, FinTech, SaaS, PropTech, MedTech, and cybersecurity, and contributed to platforms serving 1M+ users, including companies backed by $100M+ in funding. My work typically spans: - Defining technical strategy and architecture from zero to production - Building and leading engineering teams (remote and distributed) - Stabilising delivery, reducing technical risk, and improving predictability - Designing platforms that are secure, scalable, and investor-ready - Applying AI and automation where it creates measurable business impact I operate primarily in early and growth-stage contexts, where technical decisions directly affect speed, cost, and long-term product viability. My approach is pragmatic and execution-focused, with strong attention to architecture, delivery quality, and operational readiness. Technology is a means to business outcomes - not an end in itself.
