CURRICULUM VITAE / 2026 / OPEN TO ROLES
Engineering leadership · hands-on platform & cloud
Director-level by experience. Happy to lead, happy to build.
Engineering leadership since 1999.
Engineering leader with two decades of experience building cloud platforms and the teams that run them — comfortable in the org chart and comfortable in a terminal.
Deep, current expertise across AWS, GCP & Azure, infrastructure as code, DevSecOps, and platform engineering. I've led organisations as Director and Head of Engineering, and I'm equally happy in a senior individual-contributor or staff platform role. The work matters more than the title — what I look for is a team that takes craft seriously and a problem worth solving.
Calibrated against recent work.
MSG SERVICES GMBH ENTERPRISE IT CONSULTING
Building and operating an internal Platform-as-a-Service — codifying the cloud estate as Infrastructure as Code, designing the developer platform, and shaping the delivery pipelines that engineering teams across the organisation depend on.
Hands-on across Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD foundations, with a focus on operating model, governance, and DevSecOps maturity inside a regulated enterprise environment.
TROPOSPHERE DEVOPS CONSULTANCY
Founded and operated a DevOps consultancy helping organisations modernise cloud infrastructure and engineering practices — service offerings rooted in AWS / GCP, platform engineering, IaC, and DevSecOps transformation across fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS clients before transitioning the practice in early 2026.
SNOCKO CLOUD SECURITY
Led cloud security and infrastructure transformation on AWS — architected an account strategy following the Well-Architected Framework, implemented zero-trust identity and network segmentation across 50+ microservices, and rolled out Okta SSO to 200+ users. Materially reduced security incidents and infrastructure costs.
VEVE DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES
Established a Developer Productivity strategy that materially increased team velocity in four months. Built a self-service infrastructure platform on the HashiCorp stack (Terraform, Consul, Nomad), enabling five development teams to provision infrastructure autonomously — reducing provisioning from days to minutes.
POMELO FASHION ASIA-LEADING FASHION TECH
Led a diverse engineering organisation across multiple specialised teams through a sustained period of growth. Implemented an OKR framework that moved reliability, deployment cadence, and recovery time in the right direction, and established an engineering culture through structured mentorship, technical guilds, continuous deployment, IaC, and comprehensive observability.
Led architectural work across data and ML — ingestion pipelines on AWS Glue and Lake Formation, modernised with Dagster, Airbyte, and dbt; end-to-end ML infrastructure streamlining data science workflows from local development to production inference.
POMELO FASHION ASIA-LEADING FASHION TECH
Introduced DevOps culture and practices across the engineering organisation — lifting deployment from a monthly cadence to ordinary daily work, with production incidents falling alongside. Built and launched a dedicated platform engineering team whose shared services and internal tooling accelerated feature delivery across product teams.
NIMBLE LOYALTY PLATFORMS
Led the architecture and technical design of a client loyalty platform, translating business requirements into scalable technical solutions and executing a Ruby-on-Rails-to-cloud-native migration that improved reliability and reduced operational overhead.
GUARDRAILS APPLICATION SECURITY
Designed security-scanning microservices that processed large volumes of repositories daily across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket — optimised through caching, parallelism, and efficient data structures so detection happened in seconds rather than hours.
From systems administration to architecture.
