- Engineering Leadership
Fifteen years turning strategic vision into shipped architecture. I build real-time AI voice agents and RAG systems that keep data inside the Australian region, multi-tenant SaaS on AWS with Terraform, iOS and macOS apps with on-device AI, and modern REST services over IBM i (AS/400).
I am the rare executive who stays genuinely close to the tech while scaling people, translating between company directors and engineering teams and owning delivery until it ships. Based in Melbourne since 2023.
