What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, promote team growth, and challenge my technical expertise.

With over 12 years of experience in engineering management, I have a proven track record of building scalable systems and leading high-performing teams. Currently, I manage 16+ engineers at Deliveroo, where I drive the transition from monolithic architectures to microservices, enhancing our core communication platforms. My expertise lies in platform architecture, cloud infrastructure, and cross-functional leadership, enabling me to deliver impactful solutions at scale.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various initiatives, including the decomposition of core monoliths, which significantly improved deployment speed and service reliability. My experience at Microsoft involved leading feature development for PowerPoint WebApp, impacting millions of users globally. As the founder of Scholargraph, I directed all aspects of the business, showcasing my ability to innovate and drive results in diverse environments.
