At work

I've worked in tech for over 10 years. I am passionate about enabling teams to adopt effective software and data engineering practices and helping other engineers build a sustainable but effective career in tech.

Over the years, I have helped startups build MVPs fast, scale-ups improve their software engineering practices to achieve fast flow and stability, and large enterprises scale by implementing decentralised architectures like microservices and data mesh.

I've also played a variety of roles, some of these include: full stack engineer, infrastructure engineer, agile development trainer, data engineer and tech lead.

Currently, I work as tech principal consultant at Thoughtworks, where I lead high-performing delivery teams building data and digital products for our clients.

What I do

• I help companies build software and data systems right with modern software and data engineering tools and practices.
• I work with product and business people to incrementally design easy-to-use digital products that solve complex customer problems.
• I advise engineering and data directors to define tech and data strategies that translate business needs into effective technical roadmaps.
• I bring software engineering, product and platform thinking to help teams build the right product and platform for their customer needs.
• I lead and build empowered and multi-disciplinary product and platform teams, typically ranging from 4–8 engineers, fostering autonomy and ownership.
• I grow the next generation of technical leaders by training, coaching, and mentoring people on modern software delivery practices, AI-enabled software engineering and technical leadership.
• I write and share what I learn and build in public, contributing to the broader engineering community.
