Systems that stay up. scale cleanly. ship on time. don't page you at 3am. learn and adapt. earn trust.
I lead engineering teams to design, build, and operate production systems they can rely on. Two decades of shipping software and growing teams — distilled into hands-on technical leadership and hard-won judgement.
What I do
Architecture & Design
High-availability systems, distributed architectures, and infrastructure that doesn't page you at 3am. I help your team make the right calls before they get expensive.
Platform & Infrastructure
From deployment pipelines and message queues to database replication and production observability. I build the plumbing that lets your team ship with confidence.
AI & Foundation Models
Putting large language models to work where they actually matter — in your products, your workflows, and your dev teams. From integrating foundation models into existing platforms to helping non-tech businesses find their first real AI use case, I bridge the gap between what's possible and what ships.
Delivery & Leadership
Hands-on technical leadership for teams in the thick of it. I set direction, coach engineers, drive delivery, and get in the codebase when it matters. Teams I lead ship faster and grow stronger.
Built on real production experience.
20+ years leading engineering teams and shipping production systems. Cloud architecture on AWS, platform engineering, DevOps & CI/CD, high-availability infrastructure, distributed systems, backend development, and applied AI with foundation models. I've scaled teams and technology from startup to enterprise — and now I help organisations put LLMs to work in products, developer workflows, and business operations well beyond the tech sector.
I'm not a slide-deck consultant. I embed with your team as a technical leader — setting architecture direction, coaching engineers, running incidents, and writing code right alongside them. The result is better systems, stronger teams, and delivery that actually lands.
