Professional Summary

A versatile software engineer and tech leader with 16+ years of startup experience, I enjoy partnering closely with founders, leaders, customers and colleagues alike to deliver impactful products.

I bring high ownership, a product mindset, and a track record of energising teams and driving results across early-stage and scaling environments.

I write impactful code across the stack and strive to act as a catalyst for progress - whether that means rapidly delivering 0-1 products, optimising existing software and workflows, fixing CI, managing dependencies, optimising process bottlenecks, unblocking delivery, or tackling the unglamorous but essential work that keeps teams moving fast.

Uniquely experienced across the product-design-engineering spectrum, I excel at breaking down complex initiatives and delivering with speed & simplicity. I lead teams through being empathetic, fostering strong cross-functional collaboration, and demonstrating a clear bias toward action.

Design-led, creative and deeply curious, I’m a fast learner and adaptable generalist. Just as comfortable shaping strategy, architecting cloud-native platforms as I am rolling up my sleeves to ship 0-1 product at pace.
