What I'm looking for
I lead AI-enabled delivery transformation for AstraZeneca’s Scientific Computing Platform, shaping governance, modern ways of working, and platform tooling across a critical R&D environment supporting more than 250 applications and analytics services.
I drive practical AI adoption through Innovation Sprints, proof of concepts, reusable prompts, workflows, and AI agents using GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Large Language Models, and ChatGPT Atlas. I connect strategic priorities to delivery outcomes through Jira, Confluence, AirFocus, integrated planning, reporting, risk, dependency, capacity, and release management.
Across AstraZeneca, GSK, Amdocs, and telecommunications organisations, I’ve led global transformation, ServiceNow migration and release management, Agile adoption, infrastructure initiatives, and large-scale billing, ordering, and CRM migrations. I focus on translating strategy into consistent delivery while improving governance, data quality, engineering productivity, and measurable value from AI.
