Track Record & Commercial Impact
Demonstrated operational outcomes delivering cloud efficiency, architectural resiliency, and organizational velocity aligned with core CTO responsibilities.
Strategic Leadership & Business Alignment
Translating business goals into a technical vision.
Led a distributed, cross-border cloud engineering function of 25+ senior operators across the UK, Europe, and North America. Expanded global infrastructure resilience by standing up a specialized DBA function in Mexico and building a dedicated Platform Engineering team to support robust, continuous follow-the-sun operations without permanent C-suite overhead.
Financial Stewardship & Resource Allocation
Managing tech spend, gross margins, and runway.
Achieved a direct, audited saving of £27,000 per month in GCP expenditure through rigorous infrastructure optimization and asset reclamation. Combined this financial governance with a newly designed UK internship program and strategic vendor training initiatives to systematically lower long-term engineering overheads and protect gross margins.
Engineering Execution & Delivery
Building scalable systems, team cadence, and platforms.
Introduced a democratized architecture model that successfully eliminated cross-functional delivery bottlenecks and created clear professional growth paths for senior technical talent. Utilized this modern platform model to accelerate time-to-market and streamline the seamless adoption of cutting-edge AI/ML infrastructure workflows via Google Vertex AI.
Risk Management & Compliance
Security, uptime, enterprise readiness, and due diligence.
Delivered record platform uptime in FY25 for global multi-region infrastructures supporting millions of daily active players. Achieved this by embedding proactive monitoring, structured incident response, and advanced reliability engineering practices while concurrently identifying and resolving 130,000+ high/critical vulnerabilities to protect brand reputation.
Innovation & Technical Advantage
Leveraging modern tech like AI/Automation to move faster.
Executed deep-dive platform audits and multi-cloud health assessments across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. Evaluated system scalability, technical debt risks, security posture, and cloud unit economics for leadership teams, boards, and investors preparing for major growth milestones, capital raises, or structural restructures.
Agentic Engineering Operations & Autonomous Workflows
Architected autonomous operational tooling leveraging LLM-driven pipelines and declarative Infrastructure as Code. Streamlined engineering triage and technical reporting workflows to drastically eliminate manual operational drag, accelerate response times, and scale technical leadership bandwidth without adding headcount.
