About Me

I help organizations turn complex ideas into production-ready systems by taking full technology ownership from architecture and delivery to scale, security, and long-term sustainability. My focus is not just building software, but building the right systems, using sound judgment, pragmatic engineering, and a strong understanding of business constraints.

Professional Journey

With over 22 years in the software industry, my work sits at the intersection of hands-on engineering, system design, and technology leadership. My career has evolved from hands-on development and architecture roles into senior engineering leadership and strategic consulting.

Most recently, I served as Head of Engineering Practices at a UK-based global organization with a workforce of over 4,000, where I led large-scale initiatives spanning product delivery, legacy modernization, cloud transformation, and engineering excellence. This role required close alignment with executive leadership, governance, and long-term platform strategy.

I was recognized as a Global GovTech Champion for delivering customer excellence to public sector clients, an acknowledgment of both technical leadership and execution quality.

Across startups and enterprises, I have led critical technology shifts, such as, modernizing legacy monoliths, enabling cloud-native platforms, and helping engineering teams adopt modern stacks, DevOps practices, and AI-assisted development responsibly.

Today, I work primarily with startups and product-led companies as a Fractional CTO and Principal Consultant, helping them move from idea to scalable, secure systems with confidence.

Technical Approach & Expertise

I take a full-spectrum approach to engineering by combining system architecture, hands-on development, cloud infrastructure, and delivery automation.

While I remain hands-on with my core stack, I also collaborate with a trusted network of engineers when engagements require additional scale or specialization. This allows me to stay directly accountable while remaining flexible to client needs.

Technology choices are always driven by context: product maturity, team capability, compliance requirements, and long-term cost considerations.

Recent Highlights

B2B Asset Inspection Platform

I recently build & delivered a B2B Asset Inspection platform for a UK-based client, taking the product from an initial idea to a production-ready MVP.

The engagement focused on speed, security, and scalability, replacing error-prone manual workflows with a cloud-native, multi-tenant system. Through careful architectural choices and AI-assisted delivery, the client achieved faster time-to-market while significantly reducing development and operational costs.

This project reflects how I typically work: owning outcomes, reducing risk, and building systems that are ready to scale.
