I started out as a structural engineer, pivoted into operations leadership where I ran a department of 150 people, and then retrained as a frontend software engineer because apparently I enjoy making things hard for myself. I'm now squad lead for the Financial Services team at Mews, where we're embedding banking capabilities into the Mews Fintech platform. My superpower? Bridging the gap between technical and product thinking. I meet developers who can code circles around me every day, but I've got a knack for untangling messy problems, translating them into technical direction, and building processes that actually help teams do their best work. At the end of the day, I'm here to build products that delight users โ€” good architecture is great, but watching someone love what you've made is better.
