What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead platform, DevX, SRE, or engineering productivity teams where I can build high-performing global teams, modernise engineering practices, and deliver measurable customer and developer impact.

At Viator, I built and scaled the DevX function, shaping its mission, roadmap, KPIs, and engagement model across APAC and EU teams. I later took on SRE while driving platform strategy, shared standards, and modern engineering practices.

I’ve led zero-disruption, company-wide migrations including Alma 9, GitLab SaaS, SonarCloud, GitLab CI, and a multi-team AWS EKS migration of more than 25 services. I also piloted GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and AI workflows, with dashboards to measure engineering impact.

Earlier at Viator, I delivered content, supplier platform, observability, and reliability improvements, including a Directus CMS and CQRS pipeline supporting more than 3,000 articles and 300,000 tours. Across my career in recruitment, financial services, and travel technology, I’ve built Java platforms, integrations, and distributed teams focused on customer impact.
