About

With close to a decade in engineering, I've focused on building teams from their initial stages through to growth. This has involved architecting platforms built for scale, defining engineering best practices, and aligning technical strategy with business needs. A key part for me is mentoring talent and guiding the delivery of complex products in fast-paced environments.
