My background blends hands-on engineering with calm, structured leadership. I’ve led squads responsible for platform reliability, developer experience, performance optimisation, and cross-team engineering consistency. I work closely with product, design and backend teams to shape clear roadmaps, simplify decision-making, and create environments where engineers feel supported, trusted and motivated.

I bring ACAS/NUJ training in conflict resolution, feedback, and psychological safety—practical skills that help build healthy, low-drama teams. My past startup experience also gives me a grounded sense of impact, trade-offs and long-term maintainability.

A steady, people-first engineering manager focused on clarity, platform thinking and durable outcomes.
