Technology, Operations and Delivery Leader with more than 20 years of experience successfully delivering complex technical solutions, large-scale public events, enterprise software platforms and business transformation initiatives.

Throughout my career I have combined deep technical expertise with strong commercial and operational leadership, allowing me to move comfortably between software architecture, project delivery, stakeholder management, business development and large-scale operational execution.

What I Do:

• Technical Delivery: Turn complex technical initiatives into structured delivery plans, coordinating teams, stakeholders, vendors and releases.
• Digital Transformation: Modernise legacy platforms, remove technical constraints and establish practical migration paths.
• Software Architecture: Design pragmatic architectures across cloud, mobile, SaaS, APIs and AI-enabled systems.
• Product & Technology Strategy: Translate business objectives into product direction, technical priorities and executable roadmaps.
• AI & Automation: Evaluate and implement practical AI and automation where it improves operational efficiency.
• Technology Operations: Bring structure to environments suffering from technical debt, unclear ownership, delivery friction or operational complexity.
• Event & Operational Leadership: Large-Scale Event Management, Vendor Negotiation, Municipal Licensing, Health & Safety Compliance
• Technical Skills: .Net MAUI, Flutter, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Firebase, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Azure, Docker

Notable Ventures:
