What I'm looking for

I seek product roles owning platform/API roadmaps where I can improve reliability, developer experience, and cost-efficiency in regulated environments with strong focus on observability and security.

I am a hands-on Technical Product Manager with three years' experience delivering internal APIs and cloud platforms in regulated environments, driving measurable reliability and cost improvements.

I've owned PRDs and OKRs through delivery and operations, reduced p95 latency by 35%, lowered 4xx by 28%, cut Sev-1 incidents by 35%, increased deploy frequency by 25%, and reduced cloud run-rate by £3.8k/month while maintaining 99.9% uptime SLOs.

I combine platform and API expertise (OpenAPI, OAuth2/OIDC, tracing), cloud & IaC experience (AWS, Azure, Terraform), and strong incident/observability practices to optimise developer experience, security, and operational performance.
