Engineering leader and AI PhD with two decades of industry experience, scaling teams, processes, and technology. Manager at Skyscanner (acquired for £1.4bn) for B2B white label and travel widget products, and SEO pages. Part of the engineering senior leadership team at Smartsheet (acquired for $8.4bn) for advanced automation, and audit, history, and event platforms — petabytes of storage, processing 100k events per second.

I've cultivated a deep understanding of what makes engineering teams thrive. My approach combines technical excellence with empathetic management, always prioritizing sustainable delivery and team growth.

In 2016, as an engineering manager at Skyscanner, I led the creation of Travel Widgets—configurable, embeddable components that allow partners to integrate flight search functionality into their websites. These widgets remain in production today, serving millions of searches globally and demonstrating the power of well-architected, maintainable software.

The widgets are highly customizable, supporting multiple languages, currencies, and design configurations to seamlessly integrate with partner sites.

My GitHub account showcases various projects spanning constraint programming, infrastructure as code, and practical utilities. These projects reflect my passion for solving interesting problems and sharing knowledge with the developer community.
