I scale petabyte data platforms and agentic AI products.
What I'm looking for
I've led engineering and data organisations across Arable, Omnicell, Amagi, Maersk, ABB, Adobe, IBM, and Infosys, building cloud, AI, IoT, and SaaS products with measurable business impact.
At Maersk, I expanded a cloud data platform from terabytes to petabytes for 2.4 million external and 10,000 internal users, increased gross profit by 15%, and reduced OPEX by 10%. I also managed a $20M annual cloud budget and $5M staff budget across teams in India, the US, UK, and Denmark.
At Omnicell, I directed 35 engineers modernising AWS cloud and edge SaaS applications serving 10,000 U.S. hospitals, while MLOps pipelines and automated feature extraction helped drive 30% annual growth. At Amagi, I increased margins from 35% to 60% through automation, knowledge graphs, and DevOps pipelines.
I'm now directing cloud, AI engineering, and IoT platform initiatives at Arable, developing Agri-Tech products for water sustainability, renewable energy, and real-time energy conservation.
