A little about me
I enjoy a good engineering challenge. Especially when people are involved.
I lead engineering teams and deliver technology change in complex environments. The most rewarding parts often involve people: helping someone grow, bringing teams together and finding a practical way through a difficult problem.
I’m increasingly interested in the bigger questions too: how we organise engineering, where we invest, and how technology creates value. There’s always something new to figure out.
