About

With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in leading engineering teams to architect and deliver scalable distributed systems that drive measurable business impact. At Tesco, I lead the digital transformation of supply chain systems by designing and engineering a distributed replenishment platform. Processing 35 million orders per run and serving all stores across the UK and ROI, this platform significantly reduces waste and boosts profitability through advanced statistical algorithms and real-time processing. Earlier in my career, I led the development of conversational AI bots in healthcare, creating scalable solutions that enhanced operational efficiency. My expertise also includes architecting enterprise APIs that modernize legacy systems—integrating big data technologies like HDFS, Spark, and Kafka to enable resilient, low-latency data delivery. Beyond technology, I’ve built and scaled high-performing engineering teams from the ground up, instilling a culture of engineering excellence and delivering mission-critical greenfield projects under tight deadlines. As a core member of Tesco’s Women in Tech initiative, I drive programs to empower female leaders and launched the successful Return to Women initiative.
