About

I’m a Tech leader passionate about Data & AI systems, strategy, and human-centred leadership. I believe lasting impact comes when the technical craft, business purpose, and people growth come together. With experience as a software engineer, ML engineer, data engineer, tech lead and manager, I now guide AI initiatives and engineering teams to build solutions from design through to operations. My favourite challenges lie at the intersection of creative engineering, intelligent data design, and operational execution. I care deeply about mentoring and coaching, helping people grow their skills, think strategically, make better decisions, and find clarity in complexity. I also am intrigued by business psychology, mental health topics, and what makes teams resilient. When I’m not in the design or strategy sessions, I read widely, reflect often, and believe in continuous learning. If you work in software, AI or data; if you’re growing skills or building systems; or if you think about what leadership really means, I’d love to connect and exchange ideas.
