About

Background

I am a staff-level engineer and technical lead with over a decade of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems across fintech, cloud infrastructure, and applied AI. I thrive at the intersection of deep technical work and organisational leadership — setting architecture direction, mentoring senior engineers, and shipping production systems that handle millions of events per second.

My approach is opinionated but pragmatic: I favour simple, observable systems over clever ones, strong ownership culture over process overhead, and iterative delivery over big-bang launches. Outside of work I contribute to open-source tooling in the Go and Rust ecosystems.
