Experience & Credentials
Technical Leadership
Former CTO with hands-on experience scaling engineering teams and products from prototype to production. I combine strategic thinking with the ability to drop into code when needed.
Medical Device Software (ISO 13485)
Experience delivering software within ISO 13485 quality management frameworks for medical devices. I understand the documentation, traceability, validation, and risk management requirements that regulated environments demand.
Defence & Safety-Critical
Delivered software for Ministry of Defence projects (including Sharktooth diver monitoring) where reliability, data integrity, and adherence to strict delivery standards are non-negotiable.
Delivery Approach
- Pragmatic Agile: I use Scrum/Kanban where appropriate, but I don't force ceremony where it doesn't add value. The goal is working software, delivered incrementally.
- Fast ramp-up: I'm experienced at joining existing teams and codebases mid-flight. Clear onboarding, good questions, and early contributions.
- Communication: Regular, honest updates. No surprises. I flag risks early and propose solutions, not just problems.
- Quality: Code review, automated testing where it matters, and documentation proportionate to the project's needs.
- AI-augmented: I use modern AI tooling to accelerate delivery while maintaining human oversight on all decisions. More on my AI approach →
