About

A builder across engineering, product, and leadership.

My career started hands-on in mobile and software engineering and gradually expanded into product leadership, organizational development, and business responsibility.

I enjoy connecting strategy with execution: shaping teams, improving delivery, and working closely with customers and stakeholders to build useful digital products.

Along the way I completed degrees in Mobile Computing and an Executive MBA, building a foundation across technology, product, and business.

More recently, I have been especially interested in applying AI, agentic workflows, and pragmatic digital growth ideas in ways that create real momentum for teams and businesses.

What I bring

  • Leadership across engineering, product, operations, security, and delivery
  • A strong bridge between business strategy and hands-on execution
  • Experience with digital identity, mobile products, platform teams, and migrations
  • Hands-on work in AI, agentic engineering, and practical automation
  • Web development, e-commerce, and SEO for SMEs, with an entrepreneurial bias toward shipping
