What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles owning product and engineering direction at data- and AI-first companies, driving scalable architectures, ML integration, and reliable delivery in collaborative, product-focused teams.

I am a product and engineering leader with 20+ years building and scaling high-load, data-intensive digital platforms across AdTech, MarTech, FinTech and Telecom. I translate business vision into technically sound, scalable solutions, owning architecture, delivery governance and DS/ML-driven product capabilities to achieve production-ready outcomes.

I've led end-to-end initiatives from early discovery through production and handover, including DSPs, offerwalls, programmatic media platforms and ML-centric optimisation systems. I focus on pragmatic generative and agentic AI adoption to augment design, planning and delivery while maintaining operational reliability and cost-aware cloud architectures.
