About

As an experienced engineer and consultant, I am driven by customer satisfaction and delivering impactful results. I excel in leading high-performing teams and fostering close relationships with peers, the team, and management. I am comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy communicating complex, nuanced ideas to a variety of audiences: engineers, executives, non-technical employees, and customers. I’m adept at relying on a set of principles formed over the years working in big tech companies and small startups. I'm fluent in writing code in most of the major languages, such as Python, C++, C#, Java, and JavaScript and optimising and running in on different stacks and platforms. Have lots of experience with scalable machine learning enabled systems with Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, CI/CD, DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform.
