About

Senior Engineering Manager leading 15+ engineers to build software platforms that make real-time decisions safely at scale. I focus on entity-centric data models, event-driven services, and boringly reliable releases. Recent work: an Entity Store that unifies traveler/partner signals (profile, activities, relationships) and a Detection Platform that returns decisions with full auditability. I’ve also modernised CI/CD (canary + auto-gates) and improved on-call health with clear SLOs/observability, while driving double-digit cloud savings via right-sizing, caching, and Graviton adoption. I care about crisp APIs, measurable outcomes, and growing people into scope (turnarounds and promotions). Interested in high-impact software engineering leadership across vertical clouds, data-rich platforms, and AI-assisted operations.
