About

Technology leader with over a decade of experience building and securing platforms in regulated industries. I've scaled engineering teams, built multi-region infrastructure across Australia, the US, and Great Britain, and led compliance programs spanning SOC2, GDPR, and ISO27001 — including delivering platforms trusted by Apple and major banking partners.

As Valiant Finance's first technical hire, I built the platform from the ground up and helped scale the business from 10 to 220 people. Hands-on across the full stack — from application development in Ruby on Rails and Vue.js, through containerised infrastructure on AWS, to edge security and performance with Cloudflare.
