What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an engineering leadership role where I can build product-led, scalable systems with a small, mission-driven team and clear impact.

I am a tech leader and product builder with over a decade of experience driving innovation across early-stage startups and scaling B2C digital products. I bring a founder’s mindset: fast, focused, and impact-driven, with deep experience in full-stack engineering and product strategy.

Currently serving as Chief Technology Officer at Moneda Capital in London, I lead technology strategy for an AI-powered fintech super-app, oversee API integrations (Alpaca, Plaid, ClearBank, Railsr, Boxo, Sumsub), and remain hands-on building backend systems, wallet infrastructure, and AI-driven automation modules.

Previously I led software and mobile engineering across Singapore and India — building Flutter mobile apps, backend APIs on AWS, B2B SDKs, and data-driven driving-score algorithms — while mentoring teams and defining long-term technical roadmaps in ambiguous, high-velocity environments.
