Technical Lead and Engineering Manager with 14+ years of experience building and shipping web applications, mobile apps, and cloud-native platforms at scale.

Currently leading a team of engineers at Limio, a subscription commerce platform, owning delivery across product engineering, QA automation, DevOps, and customer support operations. Previously I've led teams at Aristocrat Interactive and consulted at institutions including JP Morgan, HSBC, and Thomas Cook through Globant.

I care deeply about how teams work — not just the code they write. That's led me to pioneer AI-assisted development pipelines, build QA automation from scratch, and invest in mentoring the next generation of engineers. I've also built open source tools that make the web more accessible.

What I do

01

Lead & Deliver

Managing teams of engineers end-to-end — from architecture and technical strategy to performance reviews, progression frameworks, and incident response.
