What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead technology and platform strategy where governance, reliability, partner ecosystems, and governed AI create measurable customer and business outcomes—backed by strong people leadership and risk-aware execution.

I’m a technology and platform executive with 20 years’ experience across consumer devices, streaming, app ecosystems, cloud, and analytics. At Amazon Devices (Fire TV / Appstore), I’ve served as a principal technical leader and principal solutions architect—owning partner-impacting roadmap governance, release-readiness standards, integration quality, and operating mechanisms across a 250M-device Fire OS footprint.

My approach combines hands-on technical depth with formal people leadership and governance for business protection. I founded and led a five-year Performance & Stability programme across 10+ teams and 100+ contributors, delivering sustained ~10% YoY crash-rate improvement and reducing Appstore decision cycle time from 48+ hours to ~24 hours; I also led governed internal AI adoption using AWS-hosted models with role-based access and audit logging.
