What I do

Accomplished engineering leader with over 10 years experience building and coaching world-class teams across fintech and consumer mobile.

I am currently at Paddle where I lead a fully remote team working on scaling and optimising payments infrastructure.

You can watch a talk I gave at Gophercon UK 2024 about how we build backend services with Go.

I was previously at Cuvva where I was the first Engineering Manager and mostly worked on core financial and insurance systems.

And before that I was CTO at Car Throttle while we were one of the most visited automotive websites in the UK; overseeing the launch of a 5-star rated mobile app.
