Architecture & Delivery
I own hard problems end-to-end. Currently the sole technical owner of a long-standing modernisation effort that unblocks a major platform migration — architecture, stakeholder sign-off, and delivery.

What I do
Agents & Tooling
Building AI-native tooling for engineering teams. Custom in-house agents, strong internal adoption, and a self-extending agent architecture currently in flight.
Growing Senior Engineers
Coaching senior engineers into their next level — weekly 1:1s, stretch work, and honest feedback. Built on psychological safety and sustainable delivery, not performative urgency.
